Roughly Halfway to System Payoff

One SREC sold for April, for $ 640.00.

Then, there's this from PSE&G, the power company:

Thank you for participating in Paperless Billing. Your current PSE&G bill statement is now available for online viewing. Your current balance is a credit of $109.59 and no payment is required.

I'm just doing 'back of the envelope' calculations, but it appears that our system is halfway to paying for itself. (Disclaimer: we were lucky enough to catch the tail end of the New Jersey rebate program and also received a substantial federal tax credit.) When we installed I estimated the payback period as 4.5 years. Looks like it'll be more like 5.1 years. I can live with that...

Looks like these prices may end. Since I haven't even sold my first SREC this article hurts...I checked some of the numbers...sounds pretty truthful...http://markets.flettexchange.com/2011/05/16/nj-srec-prices-drop-in-anticipation-of-an-oversupply/

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I think it's post-worthy!

When I originally left a comment I appear to have clicked the
-Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a comment is added I
get 4 emails with the same comment. Perhaps there is a way you are able to remove me from that service?
Thank you!

I'll look for a way to do this, but I don't remember anything about seeing any option like this.
