Correction - I operate at a net electric billing savings of 10% (not 15).

How is it that they can install a solar system at no cost to you? I
know NJ has a rebate system, where the taxpayers are picking up a huge
portion of the cost, but this is the first time I've heard of it being
free. And if it is, why doesn't everyone have one?

The typical case I've seen is a 6KW system costs $55K, with the
taxpayers getting stuck with $40K of it and the homeowner paying $15K.
So, to the homeowner, the payback can appear to come in several years.
But in reality, it's a total misallocation of resources and a rippoff
for taxpayers.
