[ydl-gen] OT: Solar panels/shingles (was: Mac mini vs Powerpc 8600=energy consumption)

[Anthony Lanni]

That;s awsome.  I wish such a thing were possible where I live (Los Angeles,
CA, USA);
unfortunately, even with the government offering rebates and tax incentives
a 6Kw solar
install on my house will cost me upwards of USD$30,000, and the local power
company
doesn't offer money back if we generate more than we use.  It would take me
25 years
to pay off my install, and the panels are only rated for 20.  :(
