My utility pays me 15 cents per kilowatt hour for the electricity I produce while I pay 11 cents a kilowatt hour for the electricity I use. 3. The savings are considerable in summer as opposed to winter. 4. You get a 30 per cent federal tax credit for solar installation. For me that meant paying no federal income tax one year and about half what was expected the following year. 5. I figure it would take about 12 years to break even. All in all, a good deal while reducing the carbon footprint. [/QUOTE]
