That is exactly the problem. Until someone figures out how to get the
cost down, they make no economic sense. Here in the socialist state
of NJ, they put a tax on every electric users bill to raise money to
fund solar. So, last time I checked, you can get a medium sytem of
about 6KW, which actually costs $50K, for about 20K, because the other
poor saps are paying the rest. Then promoters of this crap, like BP,
proceed to do some more bogus math to justify it. They claim you can
save another $500 a year or so, because the interest to finance it is
tax deductible, if secured by a mortgage. But they completely ignore
the fact even if the mortgage interest is tax deductible, it only
reduces the cost of borrowing the money, which they never factor in.

Lord Have Mercy, on folks in NJ. I like to tell them that DE was wise
in putting a river between us This is another example of today's
"political science". People must remember that the government does not
manufacture anything but paperwork.
