With all the costs just to build any old house down here, we certainly won't be able to afford solar electric although we are going to try for solar water heating. Just to power a modest kitchen with appliances etc would cost about 20k in solar panels but I am looking into incentives that may bring that cost down. We hope to add some solar in the future but for now we have to rely on the FPL to help us get started. We'll need to get the energy calculations done for our home. When we get the revised floor plan end of week from Rocio Romero, we'll be able to run some numbers on specific energy needs. Because we are still going for passive solar and best wind flow placement, we should be OK much of the year. Even as we come up on June, there is always a breeze and the trees help keep it somewhat comfortable. It will be interesting to see how much we really would end up using the AC at all.
