Try the calculator at the Project Sunroof site. That will give you some sense of whether it makes economic sense for you to consider rooftop solar; I'd pay particular attention to the break-even point. If you plan on moving before your break-even point, for example, it probably will be a costly choice for you.
Your electric utility is required to publish its Net Metering tariff; many utilities will have older, grandfathered-in Net Metering tariffs that are no longer open to customers. It's usually on their website in the Rates section or the Regulation/Regulatory section. Only you can decide whether this will make sense for you and your family.
