Home solar panels: anyone have them? We are seriously looking at this for our house, and would love feedback from any of you who've done it.
Looks very interesting, the 30% tax credit is gone at the end of this year, and so all of a sudden there's some urgency if we plan to have them sometime.

One of our neighbors has them. It does not "store" the electricity in any kind of battery. If the power goes out, their power goes out.

She said their electric bill is about $30/month.

What about snow? Is there some way to keep them clear during the winter?

My neighbors don't worry about that. They go to Florida shortly after Thanksgiving, and come back in April.
