Your approach is not really backwards in my mind. There's presently a federal tax credit for installing PV systems. If it applies to your tax situation, you can roll the money you receive in your refund into purchasing more efficient appliances and other conservation measures next year, together with what you save in energy expenses in the coming months... The sunshine you collect is free, the utility power it replaced was not... I continue to try to increase my energy efficiency, despite having a PV array on my roof for the last 10 months.

Thank you for the photos and the progress updates.
