I decided to reserve a system from Citizenre.
It will save me money over my current electric bills, and I don't have to spend all the upfront money.
It seemed perfect for me, especially since if you reserve a system before the end of Feb, 2007 you'll get
2005 electric rates locked in for 25 years.
With peak oil coming this was the seller for me. I am happy that I will be insulated from rising energy costs.
I also plan on using the 2005 electric rates to power a plug-in hybrid one day.....so I will be able to happily motor around town much cheaper than my neighbors
They won't start putting them on homes till early 2008. The first year they're going to install 20,000. There are 8,000 on the waiting list already so if people wait till this is proven, they'll be waiting 3-5 years.
Take a look if you're interested at:

They have an explanatory video located at the top-right and the FAQ section answers all other questions.
You'd be smart to do your due dilligence finding out if this is right for you. Some people it's right for and some it is not.
