Casey Cook spoke today on Solar Energy Pros and Cons.  He wants to try new things and better for the environment.  Casey started this project as an Economic Benefit with solar panels on:  Quality Care, Casey's office building, Good Will, Human Serivces, and an Indian Tribe in Nevada. 
Why do this?  To save money, take advantage of various tax credit, invest some of his future welfare, and diversified as not sure of the stock market. 
Case Study Mall Drive:  Size 20 KWH $50,000 Tax savings $27,000, electric savings of $2,300 per year. The units typically have 5 years of production.  It all depends on the sunlight. 
On home you may get 25 years.   The benefits, environmental, federal and state incentives, saves energy and there are ecological rewards. 
These projects must be monitor weekly, cheapest is not the best.  CA is less expensive.  You must expect challenges and tenacity is required.
