really free? If so, would you also name the company that does this? Many thanks.

1. The panels themselves have been getting a lot cheaper of late

What costs is the hookup.

2. Well, that sounds like good news to me.

It sounds like a competition between thousands of installation companies across the country making the costs affordable, if we can keep the oil and gas companies dirty hands out of it.

3. Thanks for the info.

4. Has anyone done business with "Solar City"? Please see their ad in my Op. By the way,

I didn't put their ad in my post. How did it get there? I didn't know that anyone else
could put anything into my post outside of me, myself.

5. If you are seeing ads it's likely based on your postings and google's tracking you.

I just bought a Ford Fusion Plug in hybrid. I've been researching charging stations. So now everywhere I go in the Internet, I see ads for charging stations.

I shopped for kitchen cabinets and now I see ads everywhere I browse for kitchen cabinets.

I don't see any ads on du because I have a donor star and can turn off ads. Other people can use Adblock. I really should install some ad software because some sites are unbearable without it.

6. Re: solar city

I'm a little dubious of the companies that will install panels for "free" and then put you on a long contract.

It just doesn't seem like a good idea to lock in for a long contract when prices are dropping on the equipment.

But I haven't researched it that much.

8. Appreciate the info. Many thanks.

9. some of them are leases and when i was recently buying a home in AZ

my realtor said it made it a real hassle for buyers if there was a 'free' panel install
