solar energy calculator?
just out of curiosity, does anyone know the website for a fairly simple solar energy calculator?

Basically, I just want to know the energy produced per foot of solar panel in the Southwest.

2. i don't, but i'm in the southwest too.
i've heard that it would cost about $40,000 to go completely solar.

3. yeah, that's a pretty accurate average
from the calculations I've done in the past...that'll come down when the panels come down.
