Also we have sun 350 days a year out here so being productive with them is a lot easier than someone in the mid-west where you might have only 200 days of sun every year.

Joe, I am truly happy for you personally if you are coming out ahead financially by purchasing solar panels. That said, I know the costs involved in the production of these panels and with out govt subsidies and cap and trade type legislation, PV solar has zero chance of being a financially viable large scale energy source (even in Arizona). So you might be OK, but only because of tax dollars being used to prop this BS up. While it makes sense to use some tax dollars to fund research of future alternate energy sources, wasting tax dollars on production of existing technologies that are not economically feasible (ethanol, PV solar) is simply foolish.
