No - I've heard there are plenty of companies online/options - just have to research it a little. I haven't tried.

NRG has a solar branch. You can even lease your system.Www.nrgressolar.com

After Ike, my neighbor put in one of those generators that runs w/o gas. They were so proud bc it was going to be a quite generator!!!!Yea, right! Every time this thing does a test run I know it bc I hear it!!!!Ps I adore my neighbors too!!!

@HumbleGirl: We are sorry to inform you that our solar lease is not currently available in your area. We applaud your interest in solar and apologize for this inconvenience. The company is rapidly expanding its footprint throughout the United States. We will contact you as soon as the service is available in your area.

from another site...If you want to know more about solar systems, call Texas Solar Outfitters at 713-802-0223....

No...if that were feasible or made any kind of economic sense there would be a lot of people already doing it.

@redneck roy: You can also contact Solyndra Corp

Here's the web site - could be fake - neighbors could be lying - say they never had an outage during ike.www.texassolaroutfit ters.com/I haven't checked into it- but my guess is that it might be kind of expensive.If anyone does have the time interest to check it out - I would like to hear more. Soon as I get my kids off my payroll - might want to do something like this

@redneck roy: I would be curious about the cost/ system maintenance also.... I would think it must be $$$$ or they would be everywhere....

Battery back up - I reckon batteries strong enough to supply power through the night must be darn expensive -
