Yeah, somehow this thread lost it's way. 95 cents a watt sounds really good to me.
Plus, I'm only about 215 miles from the dealer in Maine. I could drive up there.
215 mi, 3 hours 36 mins on I-95 N. I could build a giant PV farm in my back yard!
I would never see the fry pan coming towards my noggin..
I just looked at Home Depot and found $1.36 per watt.
Grape Solar 235-Watt Polycrystalline PV Solar Panel-GS-P-235-Fab1 at The Home Depot
Lower than I expected to see..
PV prices are coming down into the DHW heating range.
My PV DHW stuff is still working surprisingly well, considering the way it's wired up.
Summer sun is keeping my A7 ASHP from getting much chance to run.
Today was rainy, so it should run after my shower this evening.. At least an hour.
Thanks for posting. I will alert my local buddies. One friend is getting ready
to retire up in Maine, and he might be very interested in some cheap PV.
Anyways, here's my current solar hotwater hack.. Currently using about 7 cents a day off the grid..
