One of the trends that have noticed lately is that my power bill has been slowly creeping up each month over the past year.  I don’t think that I’m really using any more power, but I have noticed that the rate I pay per kilowatt hour has been increasing.

It is got to the point where I am seriously considering installing a solar power system on my home and the eliminating my reliance on the power grid.  I know that the investment initially will be a bit of money, but I know that I should recover my investment in less than 10 years.

I’ve been using some online calculators in an attempt to determine how much power my home uses and in turn many solar panels that I will need.  I’ve been getting many different numbers so I think I will be talking to professional to see what they think.

I am hoping to get my new solar powered system in place before summer because once I turn on my air conditioner I know that my power bill will go through the roof.
