The reason I mention California is not to create completion, but rather so people understand the context of my examples. You probably will pay less, but based on what I am seeing about the installed base, close to 50,000 people have reached the conclusion that solar makes sense for them in Florida. The low kWh rates for electricity may account for the fact that Florida has one of the lowest costs per Watt to install solar. By my calculations that means the point where solar gets a less than a 10 year payback is when electricity costs approach $0.15 per kWh. I am not trying out for a job as a solar sales person, but rather trying to better understand the market trends.
I pointed to that website because I thought it was ironic that it is the sponsor of this forum. Here some of the dialogue contradicts the message of the sponsor. Their business model is to generate leads and the dialogue on the forum attracts viewers and some of those viewers are going to click on the title bar. Clearly the sponsor wins with that business model.
As for websites that try to encourage solar in Florida, I think you have to understand who gains and who loses on that stage. Some of the local adds still have that 30% credit from the FED's so I think they are just trying to convince the people not really aware of the costs that the Sun is "free" which it isn't.
