Hey, i was wondering if anyone thought that these might be good ideas to power your grow room or even just take something off the electricity bill so the electric company doesnt get suspicious.

These work, but cost a pretty penny.

I hope you intend that these are for huge grow operations, because you'd have to be insane to spend $5000+ instead of spending the extra $3-4 on your monthly bill.

$3-$4?? I only have a 400 watter and my bill has increased by about $25 a month! But No, it wouldnt be realistic, unless of course youre a medi patient, and could use this one solar setup for the next 25 years. You'd only save about 2 grand in those 25 years, but thats worth it I think. You pay the 5,500 or you pay 7,500 in over 25 years. The reason I am saying 25 years is because thats the warrenty.

That math only works out to those numbers with my extra electric costs of 25 a month.

haha I guess I forgot to include the I split electric costs with 4 other people. But still, it doesn't seem worth it unless you have a huge setup.

Those DON'T work. I can give you parts list for them, it's two capacitors and two resistors. They cost about $50 to build. Send me an email and I'll tell you more.
