Maybe building a new house and would really like to power with solar (mostly). Has anyone put in a Solar system in Illinois (Chicago suburbs).

I ask 2015 and 2016 because of how prices change.

Wondering about cost per Kw? Contractor? Results? Etc.
 
I would also do some research on the 30% tax credit. If you're replacing your existing roof to install solar, you get to lump that into the 30% credit, not sure what counts when it's a new structure. Would be interested in finding out. If it's some portion of the roof work then you could be saving yourself a chunk by doing it now rather than 2 years down the line. Good luck!
