This site is really cool....

Our tax dollars have actually done something useful......ok, ok. No politics today.

If you haven't already seen it, I urge you to check out OpenPV.com. Created by the NREL, a national laboratory of the U.S. Dept of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and operated by the Alliance for Sustainable Energy.

OpenPV seeks to collect data on PV install across the U.S. The data is easily accessed through really neat interfaces and can drill down to national, state and county levels by average cost per watt installed, number of installs and total capacity. Registration was a breeze and they don't ask for your life history.

I haven't tried it yet, but you are able to contribute data through their interface, singles and multiples are an option.
