I know that McBride Electric in Round Rock, TX was the General Contractor on this project and was the one "tapped" by Dell to do this project. I did a little research and have seen that they [McBride] have done some pretty large installations around the US. One at Universitu of Colorado/Pueblo that was over a megawatt. Way to go McBride Electric. McBride is offering a discount on a home solar install;ation for the Dell employees as well. Way to step up guys !! Who is Envision in this game? I have been told that the payback is approximately 7 to 7 3/4 years if you add in the $245k they get from the electric company, tax credits and all. Not a bad deal. I got to speak with the project manager from McBride [Mike]and received quite a bit of "411" on the system and all. I expect that this is just the first step with Dell as they wanted this to be a "billboard" so-to-speak as roof top units would not be seen by the public. As a Dell employee, I LOVE IT. I think it a wise investment
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
