Solar Panels For House
Posted February 25, 2009
By admin
I want to start powering my house off of solar panels and possibly a wind source?
I would like some website links please.
I have heard there are shingles that look relatively normal that are solar panels; anyone know where I could find some stuff like that for not alot of money?
This is just one of many sites on the web.
http://www.solarhome.org/
Just put in “home solar panels” in a websearch and you’ll get more.
By the way, solar electric power is not cheap. If it were, everyone would have them including the electric company. The time it takes to get your money back from one of these systems can be 10 years or more. Energy conservation is a better way to go.
