i will say just a year or so ago we were stationed on fort dix, nj and a ton of the base housing had solar panels on them. Not all but a lot of them. Everywhere you go in central to south jersey you see them, farms etc....

So they surely must save money if the military is spending a lot to install on base housing :-) cause gov't doesn't ever waste money lol
you are correct, they are all over new jersey. Even the street lamps have a panel attached to the pole, and a small battery, and thats it, i dont know if they pump the excess back into the grid or not, makes sense to do it that way, i just dont know if they do or not, ill post a picture tomorrow of our street lamps.....
