You've talked the talk, now its time to build the darn thing and make your own electricity.
Note: I spend at least 5 hours on the phone and email each week with people who want to pick my brain for hard won knowledge about how to do this or that without first learning the basics. Please do not contact me unless you have at least read my Making Electricity page or have some basic knowlege on the subject. I realize this is a little rude but I've got to feed my family too.
Retailers earn their money, it's a lot of work to design systems and make the quote only to have 4 out of 5 potential customers walk away. Many of these potential customers have good sites but still say no due to the total system price when the system would pay for itself in 2-6 years (solar takes 15 to 20 years to pay for itself). If I could find a stock that doubled my money in 3-5 years with little risk I'd jump at it.... with even greater repayment after the system is paid for since a well designed system will continue to make electricity at little cost. Or you can do your homework, save the money and truly understand your system. Either way if you've got a good site it's foolish to not make your electricity in these uncertain times. Strong return on investment and always there even if the local grid goes down.
