My Motivation:
We had been considering adding a PV array to our house for quite a while, but the cost at the time for anything that would make much of an impact was out of reach. In 2009, when we saw an announcement of the rebate program through Oncor in the Sierra Club newsletter that, in combination with the 30 percent tax credit that had recently been announced, would cover almost half the cost of a nice sized system
