Re: Is anyone using Solar Power? What do you think of Solar Energy?
I dont have solar panels on the roof, I have a small 2kw solar panel system on a sun tracking system out in the back yard. I live in Las Vegas which is a perfect place to place solar panels. It really depends in the world where you live to make solar panels work.
I still have my house hooked up the grid when I need power at night. My power bill only comes out to less than $30 a month. I installed the solar panels myself, I did about 95% of the job myself to cut costs down to the bare min. The only part I did not touch was hooking up the power converters and/or any electrical part. I dont have any knowledge in that, so I didnt want to get electrocuted. It took me about 5 days to get everything installed. Mostly from my slow butt in getting it done. I never done anything like this, the reason for the slow paste.
My ROI-return on investment- is about 14% a year from saving on power costs, increase in value to the house. Try to get that ROI on any investment, its hard to find that return.
