    Mine are definitely worth it because I get (I think don't quote me exactly), 64cents per thingo they buy back off me. I have never had a bill since getting them, I have 10 all together. My system cost just under $5000 but they are much less than that now. I went with True Value and they weren't that great to be honest, took a long time to book me in (more than 6 months) so I tried to cancel and get the $1000 they'd had for all that time back but they wouldn't. I kicked up a big stink and funnily enough they were installed within 2 weeks after that.
