Photovoltaics can create independence

Q OK, I’ve had enough. I know solar electric systems don’t make much economic sense for most homeowners today, but I want to try something. Maybe I can’t make my house totally independent of the electric company, but I’d like to start on that path. What are some things a homeowner can do?
A Actually, if someone gave you a dollar for every time I’ve been asked a question similar to this, you could probably afford a complete system for your home by now.
