I am so impressed that my neighbors installed a 8.6kW solar array on their roof! Their experience shows me that just about anyone can install solar themselves. #DIYSolar #SolarPanels #Solar

Information on Solar Costs:
Prices are going up on solar (mainly due to shipping costs) and here is the latest average ballpark figures from Solar Wholesale:

For a 8.6kw system (like what Chris & Amanda got) the total would be around $16,600. After the 26% tax credit the system's "Net Cost" would be around $12,300.
