My home does face south if that matters, is 1280 sq ft, (small home 3 bedrooms) and would like for the panles it to supplement a significant amout of energy. Not just for water hearing. I live in southern Texas off the coastal bend where its ALWAYS "sunny " (HOT). Very seldom is it cloudy, if that matters, so i do belive it to be a good investment . I welcome any additional input of information if you have any even if you dont know where i can get soalr panels so all welcome to respond. Also does any one know if it conflicts with any agreements with local energy providers anywhere for that matter that would keep me from putting pannels up and still bieng able to jump on the grid. One more thing if any one knows of something more effeciant than panels by al means let me know.

Your local power company may be able to run the calculations for you. For what it's worth, we're on the rainy side of Oregon and ran the calculations. We can't make photovoltaic power pay in any sort of reasonable time, but we can make solar hot water and solar space heating pay, even in our cool and grey climate. There are some new, higher efficiency, lower cost PV panels under development... I'm hoping they'll be released soon, and we'll run the calculations again. In the meantime, try talking to these folks: seco.cpa.state.tx.us/ re_pv.htm

Hi: You can check with a vendor in your area who is affiliated with the National Association of Remodeling Industry (NARI). You can find a local vendor by visiting their web site at NARI.org Hope this helps. Good luck!
