1  Other / Beginners & Help / Solar Panel user here, wondering if I'm a good candidate to start mining. on: July 14, 2011, 01:17:27 PM
Basically I haven't played any games on my 5870 for over a month mostly because of work.  We have solar panels in the house and PG&E doesn't give us a refund for the kWh we produce.  I want to do this strictly for side money and was wondering if I'm a little too late to join the game.

Also I've been reading a lot of posts of people who say panels aren't affordable because you have to buy and finance the panels but we actually lease them for about 60/month with no down payment and installation fees.  You only pay 60/month with no hidden fees, not sure if people are aware of that.  It is a 20-year lease though and you can transfer the lease to someone else for about 250 dollars if you plan to move.  And really it was a great option for our family as now we're saving about over 100 a month on electricity.

This is what our usage has been since we've installed panels early Feb and as you can see, PG&E took away negative kWh so we don't get to profit from the gains.  I need a way to make back the lost profits but need to know if it's still worth doing so.
