I will say that there price is a little higher because of what they use for equipment. But you get what you pay for is what i have found out.
The bottom line solar isn't cost competitive. The only reason the payback is approx. 8-10 years is the government subsidies (and we all know the Gov has no qualms about spending our children's money). Solar would be 30+ years without tax incentives. We should be pushing natural gas powered trucks and homes but the Enviro-Taliban crowd view nat-gas as an enemy since it is carbon based despite the clean burning nature of the fuel.
