Would like to add to home but it appears that there is way to much info out there. Need to pare it back a bit. Please help.

You may want to hold off buying for a while….there’s a new technology for them being developed call "thin-cell" solar which may cut the costs for them in half to 1/3 per watt produced. It uses other materials than silicon like cadmium-telluride and others.

    Most of the applications for solar panels on a home’s roof have been for heating water. Depending on the size and ability to generate power, I would say that your imagination would be the only limit as to the number of diffierent applications for them.

    I have even heard of people who have in some arrangement with the power company, actually used a negative amount of electricity and sold it back to the electric company. When I finally get a house, I definitely am going to look into solar panels and see the do a cost/ benefit analysis.
