Just bringing electric service to their beautiful mesa homesite near Carbondale, Colorado, was going to cost thousands even though the site was less than a mile from the nearest utility line. They wanted to have all the modern-day comforts, but couldn't convince themselves that forking over $8,000 to connect to the utility--and then to be burdened with a lifetime of electric bills--was a wise investment. Instead, they decided to put their money where they could reap a return: in a photovoltaic (PV) system."
