I am looking to find out how to go about setting my house up for total solar power? I live in the South so sun isn’t a big problem for us. I’d really rather be using a sustainable product than keep letting the electric company keep charging me for THEIR gas usage. Exspecially when I see their trucks running all over town to run their daily errands instead of working.

Solar Power Water Heater
How much does it cost to install a solar-powered pool heater for an indoor school pool?
I was just wondering if there are companies out there who install solar powered water heaters for average sized pools (deep end 8ft)? If so, how much does it usually cost? This is for my school.
To achieve total solar heating, the panel square footage must equal 50% of your pool’s square footage (length x width). The panels are usually 2×20, 2×12, or 2×10. So really it would depend on the square footage of your pool and what size panels you plan to use. Try the website below that sells pool heaters. There is more info there.

Where can I find Solar Power Information?
I’m looking for ways to save some money on my electrical and gas bill at home. I’ve heard that solar power is a great way to do that, but it looks pretty expensive to have it installed. I’m thinking that I may have to spend some time installing it myself. Where can I find Solar Power Information to install my own solar power equipment?

How does the Solar Water Heater Tax Credit work?
If someone doesn’t make enough to pay into the tax system, how will the 30% tax credit work? As a refund?
This question is based on something I overheard and you can always learn something new about the IRS and how various deductions work. The company was listing the amount on the spreadsheet as money you would save from the purchase price from the unit but that must be false in any scenario.
Form 5695, Residential Energy Credits, from LAST year is in the link below. The new one should be up on that site eventually. But you can get an idea of how it works. Just ignore the part about the cap of $500 or $2000.
As you’ve guessed, the tax credit is not refundable – you won’t get paid if you don’t owe that much tax.
If you’re that poor, some cities like San Francisco or Berkeley (I think) may have programs to help you make your home more energy efficient, in some cases, even subsidizing a solar array.
