Hi
I'm new here, just read the To Catch The Sun, and I'm starting to think of DIY Solar. Costs are an obvious first consideration, and I'd like to know if anybody knows where one can buy panels at good prices in Southern California. I've read that one can buy panels as low as $.25/watt, where I've only found $1 or a bit less... Of course there are other components one would like to find at good prices, racking and inverters especially. If there is anyone in the San Diego area who knows a competent installer who works independently (probably a rare creature!) that would also be good to know. I'm quite practical, so I don't feel it should be difficult to do.
I'm looking forward to hearing great ideas!
Thanks,
Tom
