Why My Plunge Into Solar

I came to terms with it today, after much thought and consideration. I'm going to invest in a solar system for our house. My thought process on this is somewhat different than the analysis I've seen here, so I thought I'd share the why in my case. I live on a ranch in South Texas, lots of sun, and in a house with a roof perfectly positioned (by luck). But this is not a diary on the specs of PV systems, or their efficiency. Rather, it is a diary on why it makes financial sense to invest in solar panels on your home.
