The problem with domestic PV solar power is that it is primarily used in an individual-property capacity and unless you have a large enough roof area to support the square-meterage of cells required (rule-of-thumb guide is 10m2 per kW generated to account for climactic conditions) you will still be grid-depandant, that, and coupled with what little incentive is offered by the power companies in terms of energy buy-back costs per unit.

Yea, I'm on there newsletter. They are posting 1 on ebay for sale also. 1 is going to be held at the company, and the third is being donated to some tech school.

The are ramping up production for distrobution to 2 municipal projects. After that, it didn't say if you could buy directly from them, however they do have contact info for distributers.

As far as the nanosolar goes, I use about 320 KW a month, this being said, if I went to electric heat it would be closer to 700 -800 a month. to have these installed it sounds like there going for 99cents per KW so it would cost ruffly 800 for materials, plus installation.

I personally wouldn't want to put them on my roof, I think its a bad Idea, its hard to get on your roof to wipe snow off them. additionally, with the heat from your house rising, and the cold air from the environment it could probably be a bad situation for it. I personnally would rather set up a field in my back yard that I could mow around in the summer. Makes it easier to clear it in the winter, plus you don't have the pitch issues, and availability issue of your roof.

These panels combined with a 1000 dollar battery backup, and a windmill would be sufficient to supply my energy costs, the problem being is that there is a big difference between being off grid, and near grid. If your off grid, you don't pay for distribution, which for me is about 60 month on my 90 dollar electric bill.
