Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:
*This* puts text in bold.
_This_ puts text in italics.
bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.
To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
Nice.
BTW, I asked once, who makes the PV panels?
Not bad. It's only a bit more than I use without solar panels.
You did pretty good I used 414 kWh last month
Kyocera panels...

Can you tell us how much you're saving per month, and what it costs per month for the panels? I want some, too, but am tempted to wait a few more years for the price per watt to come down.
My bills were $140 - 160/mo; the credit balance you see is because we were on 'level pay' at $150/mo and in the last 4 months, we've saved over $250. The lease cost over those 4 months was $280, so I'm out of pocket about $8/mo for the solar.
But - I think we're looking at big electricity price hikes, so I have now effectively hedged about half my use, and can add on to the system relatively cheaply.
The price of systems will definitely fall - but so will the subsidies, which may be an incentive to move faster.

When I read the post title, I was wonder if you were planning to move to Alpha Centauri or the Earth-like planet some scientists discovered :)
