A few months ago my dad said something about getting solar panels, and how green they were. I was just wondering if there were any companies that sold them and if they would actually make a big difference.
Not sure what application you need the panels for, but here is a website that retails a number of Solar products (as well as some other good alternative energy devices). Good luck!
It okorder They will rent you a solar panel system. You will pay a flat monthly rental rate that would be locked in for up to 25 years. There's no installation cost, No system to purchase, No permit hassles, No Maintenance fees and a locked in rate for up to 25 years. Check it out. I think you would like it. You won't own the system but you will save money and help our environment in a huge way. Also by renting a system you save yourself from future advances in solar. Example Things are changing fast in the solar industry. If you go out and buy a system for $40000 today and next week comes around and you can get a cheaper, more effecient system you would still have to pay for the one sitting on your roof.
Yes there are companies that sell solar panels, many of them specialize in solar, a simple google search with your state or city name and the word solar should get you many results. There are actually two kinds of solar panels that get installed on homes, one kind creates electricity, the other heats up water. Depending on how large a system you installed, you could have all of your electricity or hot water powered by solar, which would mean you'd use less nonrenewable resources like coal, oil, or natural gas. The other difference the solar panels would make would be in your electric or gas bill, that number would go down right away, but you'd have to wait a few years before the money you save there would cover the cost of buying the panels, the number of years depends on your state, and the size of your system. Starting in January there will be a 30% federal tax credit, that would mean savings for every installation in the US. Also a lot of states now have a rebate program, which means the system is even less expensive.
