If you reading this article, it's more than likely you are interested in changing your home to, or building a solar power home. There are two motivating factors that usually lead homeowners down the path of implementing solar power as their energy source and they are either for environmental reasons or of course financial reasons.
From the point of view of being environmentally friendly, solar energy is without a doubt the number one energy source to choose. Solar energy is clean energy which is harvested from the sun in a non environmentally harmful way. As the energy is derived from the sun, it is a renewable energy source, unlikely to dry up for many millions of years. The conversion and consumption of solar also gives off no harmful by products and in turn gives the earth a breather and allow it's self to repair by replacing harmful energy solutions.
From a financial point of view implementing solar energy, particularly in the form of a DIY (do it yourself) solar kit, will reward the householder with massive savings. Once implemented solar energy is free energy, that's right you never have to pay a dime for it. DIY solar power kits also have the added benefit of costing a fraction of retail systems (around $200 as opposed to thousands) which also saves the householder a lot of cash. DIY Systems can slash your power bill by as much as 80%, depending on the size of your project. All of this translates to savings of thousands of dollars.
