How many square feet does it take to make 256 watts? Is that the latest tech, or a previous iteration?
Still looking at about doing something on a 8'x36' south facing tin roof @ my Doghouse. It's just shy of 5/12 pitch. In Colorado of course. The charge for Sparks up there is $.16 per KWH, so it might be more cost effective than here in Denver Co where it's $.0625 KWH.
I'm hoping to get it to pay out before I drop dead, ya know. Other issue is that I don't currently use and 12vdc there at all. So I'll lose some to the converter, as well.
