What is the average cost to add solar panels for home electricity?
I live in a tri-level home approximately 1400 square feet. I use around 3000 kwh a month and spend 400-500 a month on my electric (only) bill. I figure If Im going to be spending that much anyway, I might as well help the environment and get the tax credit. If you can give me the average cost to add the panels to my home, how many panels I may need, and the average cost savings on an electric bill I would truly appreciate it.

They have state by state listings for renewable energy. Then contact your local electric provider and ask them who is licensed by them to do solar installs. You cannot legally do a solar grid-tie yourself.
It’s a long term investment, but thin-film solar has come down to $1 a watt, so it’s much quicker to get a payback than it was 2 years ago.
You cannot run a/c on solar, it takes too much power. Your 400-500/month bill it probably from heating/cooling cost.
Going direct solar water heating will save you money very quick. Most places encourage it now.
Your utility should also have state sponsored energy conservation programs like energy audits and free or cheap added insulation that would help you cut your bill.
