I know they have solar panels and they can be bought. But, does anyone know of an example of a residential or small business in new york city that uses Solar Power to offset some of the electrical bills.

Will con edison allow it?

the answer to this question is what i would like to implement in NYC

Most all public utilities allow you to grid tie a solar electric system. Just how much will they pay you per kWh is the question.

It looks like NY has a lot of incentives, Check out this link to find out what the incentives are in your state.

Total the kill a watt hours for the last 12 months from your electric bills. You would normally divide that by 365 days and you have your daily avg usage. You divide that by the peak sun hours in your area and that is about how many watts in solar modules you need. Pick an inverter to match and hook it up.

You could go to the following link and spend about 15 minutes and size and price a solar kit system. I installed a 1000 watt system and the only thing missing was the electrician and the long wire runs from the roof to the inverter breaker. http://www.oynot.com/grid-tie-only-how-to.html Took about 10 hours and 5 of them the electrician was helping so it is a two person job.

Cost me 500 bucks to the electrician to pull the permits connect the wires and hand me the solar modules on the roof. I did the rest.

any web links or emailed plans would be great…..the idea is to build a solar heater for a pool
thanks so far for the comments, although 'conspicuous consumptionist' would i think be a triffle overboard…surely anyone wanting to investigate renewable energy sources for whatever reasons should be praised…..
info only in future please? thanks

I very much doubt that this is possible.

The plans are probably confidential and/or you may have to pay to use them, even for private use.

Good luck trying!
