<prompt> Human: Im getting a new house soon august, living in Colorado, and when I try to do research online, it seems like a slam dunk good idea to install solar panels on my roof. However, the roof isnt built yet so I cant really have a person come out to look to give me an estimate and I dont know that I would trust them anyway since they would be motivated to have me purchase them in the first place.Has anyone here installed solar in their home? How did it go? Was it worth it? Did you utilize any state or federal incentives? How much energy do you generate? Does your electric utility charge you a different rate? Ive heard some electric companies charge people with solar a different usage rate than people who dont have solar installed.  <response>: However, the roof isnt built yetNows the time to decide if you EVER want to go solar then. If yes, make sure what ever the build does can support it. As far as worth it, I cant say yes for sure. Youll have to estimate your usage which is gonna be hard in a house you dont live in yet but from there you can do some calculations to figure out how long itll take to pay itself off.
