Photocell was around $5How much was the start up cost? photocells can be pretty expensive. We plan to eventually make our whole house solar power but after I pay off all those darn student loans Right now I estimate the light will cost $4/month; but I'll only have to use it October-February since we have lots of light here in the sunshine state
Since I already installed electricity for the water heater, the lighting system cost under $30.
