Louisiana has one of the better Solar Energy incentives. It's 50%, on top of the 30% provided by the Federal Government.
You could buy a 5KW system that originally will cost around $22,000 for a final price of $2000. It'll totally pay off in 5 years, then the energy is free for the life of the equipment (panels are usually warranteed to 25 years).
See: http://www.findsolar.com/index.php?page=rightforme
For my estimation above, I took the average power used per year (American Residential Rough) of 8000 kWh, converted to power used per month (666 kWh), selected "other" utility, zip code = 70822, and Electricity Offset = 50%.
Spread the word. Movement on these incentives will be beneficial to the local Economy, and Residents.
