Why should you be considering using solar power? and what are the benefits for you or for the environment?
The first reason to go with solar power is that you take control of your utility bills. While you pay upfront for the installation, after that you have virtually free power from the sun for the life of the installation, at least 20 years.
On the other hand, if you take advantage of the Government Programs you can save cost and put spare power back into the utility network.
You will also find that there is some assistance available to help you buy the installation. Programs vary from time-to-time, but the government is interested in increasing the number of solar power installations, and will provide funding at some level. This benefits you in reducing the initial cost.
On the environmental front, the use of solar power for electricity reduces the amount of pollution that generating plants have to produce.
This is, of course, a topic of current interest, with the widespread belief that fossil fuel use is contributing to global warming and the demise of the planet.
The wonderful thing about solar power is that it is a renewable energy source, and will be available for ever, for all practical (human) purposes, unlike oil or coal which become increasingly used up with each passing year.
