My name is Doug Morrow and I work for Inland Electric Renewable Energy Team in Hillsboro. I strongly believe in our products (Solar/Wind and Hydro) are the wave of the future. I agree that it is hard to figure return on investment for renewable energy (for residential 7-10 year payback app. and commercial 3-6 year payback app.) but one must look at the total picture and the choices we have in not investing. Our modules come with a 20-25 year warranty, the inverter with 10 year plus factory warranty and sadly the price of energy will only increase with time accelerating the payback. The public that is served by PGE and Pacific Power have great incentives. When one shops for a Photovoltaic system one of the questions you should ask is: "What do you charge per installed watt?" This will help you find a simple answer to find the right solar installer. Thank you.
