LOL. But seriously, have any of you guys who've already installed systems had any trouble with hail? Are they tough enough to withstand an average storm?
I'm acquainted with someone who installed solar panels a couple of years ago; if I remember, I'll ask him the next time I see him. He said he does OG&E's Smart Hours (or whatever it's called); he switches from the grid to his panels and batteries during the high-cost hours, and has had some absurdly low bills as a result.

I don't really see getting payback for a really long time. But with the coming EPA mandates the utilities are going to have to jack rates, so that time frame will likely get shorter.
