Damn, I wish we could go off the grid…A Groupon deal I seem to have missed earlier is $99 for $1,100 worth of home solar panels and installation (91% discount) from One Block Off the Grid.

The cost of an average system depends on many factors, including size and type of your roof and  rebates and incentives available. One Block Off the Grid monitors all these complexities to streamline the process for homeowners.  Prices vary across the country ($6–$9 per watt in most areas), but One Block Off the Grid consistently negotiates pricing with installers to below $6 per watt. Tax credits and rebates can further reduce the total price of the system. Log on to use a free online estimator to help predict costs.
