This past weekend we were at my sister and BIL's place in western Illinois and they just installed a solar system. They said that the cost is subsidized at 70% by the local power company. They don't get paid for the produced electricity that they don't use (which goes into the grid) which kind of makes sense if the power company is footing most of the bill. Apparently the power company must be thinking that if they can get enough of these systems out there that it will pay off in the long run. The system has an automatic cut-out that in the event of a power failure it shuts off the solar so it doesn't backfeed the lines and electrocute a lineman. Should this happen the solar is completely cut off, even from their use, so it cannot be used to "live off the grid". It's not on line yet - the power company needs to do a final inspection yet - so they don't have any real-world data on what it will actually do.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
