    Not bad lifespan! Must have been a hell of a dumpster load.

   Yes, they spend their money very fast! I've seen Amish with smaller and   
   less needy families.

   I had thought of roof mounting too before I put on my new roof!   
      
   I may put in solar hot water out at the property perimeter where I get   
   some sun. The idea would be to store it there and run insulated lines to   
   the house. The pumping loss is not much, but the thermal loss may be. I   
   suppose you are talking PV though, which I can't justify the cost yet.
