Nice bills guys. My bill is still in the $40-$50 per month range including a $7.24 per month "customer charge". Unfortunately, the size of my second floor south facing roof limited me to a mere 20 panels (4.4kW). It is better than nothing though...

As for the wind, I hope to never test my system with the 3-second gust of 170mph that my structural engineer's math indicates my system should survive. There are 204 5/16"x3" lag bolts attaching 102 creotecc tile hooks to my roof trusses. Every panel has 3 rails under it to survive the crazy wind loads we have to engineer to in South Florida.
