Some states, Florida isn't one of them, will pony up a big chunk of the going-in-cost. It might be worth checking with your local power company, any incentive would come through them.
btw- where'd you get the cyclops! He's great!
There is some incentives in Hawaii but it's still not enough to make the pricing and ROI attractive.
Wind power is an alternative but I live in an area that's controlled by a homeowners association. They are death on any type of tower. Plus, the county has an absolute height limit of 30 feet for anything. I'd mount the wind generator on the roof but I understand all of them generate a lot of vibrations that drive people nuts. Oh well.
The cyclops is one of the main characters from the movie Monsters INC.
