Interesting link. Seems like these panels would be easy to install and the rebates from federal and state (total $4000 plus $3000 grant money) would be helpful in purchasing but the website says it will save you $80 a YEAR in energy costs? Wow, that is not very much… I’ll have to do more research.

Also, checkout this site for reel mowers. I could see doing this. Maybe we buy one used or something to try it out. I have a feeling I would be doing most of the mowing in this case…
