The incentives are pretty good here in Washington State for generating power from solar or wind or turbine. For solar, my power company pays .54cents a kwh production incentive for products made in Washington State or .15cents if not. Also there is a 30% Federal Tax Credit on the gross cost at installation.

I hear that the folks are getting checks in the $2500 to $3000 range from the power companies per year for generating extra power for the grid. They said that the payoff of their ROI is about 6 to 7 years.

We don't get that much wind here, so I don't see putting out any wind turbines.
