How solar power can help you
Studies have shown that for every $1 a home owner spends to save on their electric bill the value of the home increases$10 to $25. A Solar energy system can add value to your home especially in the first 15 years of their service. Panels are expected to last 30 years at least. Not only can you add value to your home but you can make your house stand out in terms of being the few green energy homes in your area this could be a huge selling point. I know it gets my attention.
Solar panels can work for you no matter where you live.All you need is sunlight even on cloudy days the panels will absorb enough light to make electricity. People use trackers to move the panels with the sun as it crosses the sky to optimize the suns potential all day long.There are also mirrors to focus the suns rays on the panels more intensely.
Solar panel construction has advanced significantly in the last 20 years and can withstand almost any weather condition. Hail. rain ,snow, extreme cold, extreme heat are not a problem anymore for solar panels. High tempered glass is used in the construction of the panels. Reinforced construction of the frames has greatly increased the strength of the panels increasing their value. Technology has advanced so much that panel cost hasbeen reduced significantly.

Why Solar power is finally affordable
Solar power has finally come down in prices after when in past years the
cost of solar power was so high you couldn't afford to install one.But like
everthing else or almo st everything the cost eventually has dropped so
it's affordable again. So here we go the top 6 reasons solar power is
affordable again.
1. Solar power going down dirty fuel going up:Dirty fuel meaning carbon bas
ed fuel. As fuel prices went up Solar power came down with more demand and
interest in the product.
2In 2009 A new tax credit: for Solar powered energy systems will be in
place. Instead of it being like a deduction It'll come straight off your
tax bill 30% of the cost of the system is what you'll get credited for.
3.State and local rebates: These don't apply in every state but in Austin
Texas theres a rebate of $4.50/watt when it only costs $6-$10.00/watt to
setup a system so you're getting a 45-75% return of you installation costs.
4.Film based solar panels:A company based in San Jose California, has
devoloped a film based solar panel that is much more cost efficient in
converting Sun to electricity than the current solar panels on the market.
5.Trackers and Mirrors:Electric motors keep panels moving with the sun so
to utilize the sun allday long. Mirrors are used to concentrate the suns
energy onto the panels.
6.People have figured out a way to make Solar panels right at home.Buying a guide on the Internet has proven to be a very cost effective way to make
your own electricity.Here's one that I found to be extremely affordable
Affordable Solar power
