Your requirements would require a large system with a tower. For a QUICK and very round number method to figure out general cost. Take your current monthly energy cost, multiply by 7 to 10 yrs. That's 84 to 120 months. That's a ball park for what your system would cost to handle ALL your power.

Many, many customers choose to simply power a portion of their energy due to what they can spend. So, you can put in a smaller system. The systems have a 30 year expected life to rebuild. So, any of our systems are expected to make power WAY beyond the return on your investment.

So, in terms of figuring the value of such a investment. The payback is as sure as Texas wind will blow. As sure as you will use electricity. Over the next 30 years it is expected to take only 10 years to pay you back. There is no better place to put your money that I know of. If you want to become a dealer, selling neighbors and locals a similar system pays up to 12% of the sales....

In the first year, the IRS pays you back 30% in a tax credit. Now, that's a solid investment IMO. Hope that helps.
