Have you installed and use Solar Energy at home?

With so much talk of pollution and environmental worries abounding, how many of us have gone in for solar energy? I do not find many households using solar power to power up their homes. It is high time that more and more people change over to solar power instead of depending on the electric power being supplied by the the government.

The solar power system is very expensive for me. The cost is very higher. I plan to buy a solar lantern or 2 to 3 lights with solar panel in the future. I am trying to save money for this. I have been loving the idea of solar energy very long time. I think if the solar systems were less expensive more people would have gone for solar system as it is free energy coming from the sunlight.

That is the ideal thing to do but the thing right now with solar power technology is the price that this technology entails is a bit high and many average families could not afford to avail of this. I guess the manufacturers of this should find a way to make this technology affordable to many to be attractive to many households. If that would indeed happen I would be the first one to avail of such a technology that is green and would help the environment recuperate from the destruction this world has endured.

Hello We have just bought a house...and we have been talking for a few years about how we would love to put solar on a house when we by it. We still want to do this, however it is expensive to start...in the long run it will say not only the enviornment, but also a whole lot of money. It will also up the resale value of the home. But we need to wait until we can afford to instal solor panels, or finaince them...which i would prefer not to do...becuase then you end up paying more for them in the long run becuase of interest and all that. So I think we are going to wait to save up a nice down payment, and then get the rest financed for 5 years or so. Because then we will be spending less in interest. Not only that but then it would pretty much be a replacement bill for hydro...and when it is paid off it will absolutely be worth it.
