    Go to a calculator like this one that take into account where you live and what your local incentives are, and provides a list of installers in your area, http://www.altestore.com/howto/Tools-Calculators-R...

    Don't forget about solar water heating, it has a much bigger bang for the buck than just solar electric. It can reduce your water heating bill by up to 75%.

    If you want to do your own research on finding incentives in your area, go to the DSIRE web page at http://www.dsireusa.org/

    And whatever you do, avoid those "build it yourself for $200" scam sites.
