being on a campus means lots of people who wanted to go this direction..  of the dozen i know who have done the solar thing, most had decent luck with it.. after 10-15 yrs they broke even. The ones who went with the more stationary ones had better luck. Less things to break I guess.  if you have the proper sun exposure it helps.  Some people went the install in the ground way because it limits issues on the roof and if the roof was really built to handle the extra load in the first place.   Leaking has been a minor issue but a few ran into issues once it was time to swap the next roof out depending how the install was done and the style of panels used. Panels are getting more efficient though

The elec car thing has gone poorly for almost every one I know who has tried it.  if you dont drive a pretty good amount you never can get even or even close.  Several hung around long enough to have to get the 2nd set of batteries and that just puts you back in the hole again.   The majority went the hybrid route so that could actually use the car on longer trips.   thats becoming a bit better if you scout the routes and find places to plug back in.
