Every state is different. In New York, the state passed a law that "allows" a town government to make solar electric systems exempt from property tax hikes. So - all that means is - here, you are at the mercy of the town government. The certainly can tax solar systems if they want.
I checked into it very carefully before installing. New York has one of the largest incentive programs in the country right now (and we're all taxed for it). If it hadn't been for the huge incentives, I would of installed off-grid with a much cheaper system. I can buy non-UL rated solar panels with full 25 year warranty at 1/2 the price of what I have now. Also, some mod-wave 5000 watt inverters would of been much cheaper than the full-wave Outbacks. But, to qualify for incentives - the panels must be UL listed and to have grid-tie, inverters must be full-wave and meet many strict requirements. I was also very leary of the grid-tie arrangement. I was wondering for a long time - after "selling" power to the grid, if they would charge me a delivery charge to get it back when I needed it. I never got a straight answer - but we just found out. This is the darkest month I've seen in years and this is the first month we needed some power back from the grid. We got it, and no delivery charges. At the moment, the power company owes us over 4000 KWhs - so we've got plenty in reserve. It's kind of like lending them money and not getting any interest on it. But, it beats making the excess power and wasting it.

The easiest and best first-time project for wanna-be sheet-metal workers like myself is flat or nearly flat metal cut and drilled to be a tractor's sidesheet. A sidesheet is sheetmetal to cover either the engine as in the case of early Oliver's, Massey-Harris' and many crawlers or the wiring and electrical components as in the case of the Massey-Harris Pony, Allis Chalmers' D Series (D-14, D-15, D-12, D-10, D-17, and D-19). The need for fabricating becomes obvious when you go to buy any of these
