SOLAR ELECTRICITY PANELS DO THEY WORK?
i already have solar/gas water heating, but was wondering if getting Solar Panels For Electricity installed was a good idea.
Why of course. Just buying them is the big buzz.
Companies are doing thousands if not millions of dollars a month only by selling Solar Panel.
I did a little search and I found that it costs 7000$ to Install Solar Panels for an average roof.
If you’re a hardcore green, then Bon Appétit, I’m not preventing you to buy it. All I’m just saying is that it’ll take months if not years to get that money back.
It is good for electricity, and I saw it worked on a company building called Better Place, so save the world!
