Solar and wind power are not energies in which you can compare monthly cost where it makes any sense. The reason for this is these installations remain expensive and will do so until the production volume greatly increases. Saving money IS NOT a current reason to install solar or wind power. If one can afford the initial investment, then down the road a few years it might make financial sense. In my area we have too many power outages and don't wish to deal with this anymore. Further, we feel we have an obligation to our environment to do whatever we can afford to do. I just wish our government would place a high priority on alternative energies, and in doing so to encourage new technologies, which ultimately will make solar and/or wind power affordable to the average homeowner--probably another ten years...
