Running electric

Do your homework regarding wind and solar. It is great in theory, but anyone I know that has dabbled in this finds maintenance costs negate any gains from this type of energy production. It will be viable someday and I am going to jump on that band wagon eventually, but it's just net ready yet. At least not what I have seen. Where I live, the utility will not pay for over produced energy either. If they did, that may change the economics of it.

yeah i agree. Problem is, I'm not sure what the option is going to be yet. If it is going to cost more like the initial quote to install a standard grid line than solar/wind, it may be worth the extra cost now versus in the long run. I'm in the boat of having to pay 15-25 grand regardless of which way I go it appears since this property has no current electric. If I was buying a place that already was connected to the grid, I'd stay away from the idea until it was more viable.
