my question is if …
my question is if someone wanted to get solar installed how do you get the money from the goverment to pay for it?
The price shouldn’t …
The price shouldn’t really be a problem, get a loan for the panels, the monthly payments will be less than the amount you spend on electricity. Then when the payments are done, presto you’ll really be saving a TON of money, and helping the environment.
I agree 100%, solar …
I agree 100%, solar energy is the future & will be a powerful way to save on energy consumption. It will be a major part of our way of living, guaranteed to be certain. This will lower expenses related to transportation, cooling & heating. Creating a ripple effect with our budgets so we can use the saved amount for more important goals and a healthier environment lifestyle.
Considering how …
Considering how little it costs to keep the panels working, the fact that you never need to pay for any sort of fuel, and the fact that they can last for deacdes without needing any repairs, makes the large price tage worth it. However, even with government, many people simply won’t be able to afford it. Plus, simply putting solr panels on ones house is not the most cost efficient method of use. Solar power plants in the desert should be built.

how did you get a loan on solar panels?
This statement …
This statement seems very ignorant, since wind, hydro, hydrogen, biofuel, geothermal and other renewable sources all show promise for future energy needs. Solar is great, but it’s not the only answer.

Before you dump …
Before you dump $50K into solar panels, you should invest $1.50 and buy a clothesline. Then you will have a solar clothes dryer, which according to the US governmnt is about 7% of your electric bill. I am shocked at the number of global warming believers (which I am not)that I know who come up with every excuse not to give up thier electric clothes dryers. It is the easiestand cheapest way to go solar.
Power save solar …
Power save solar could get you a 2 kilowatt system for around $12,000 minus like $6,000 incentives. Buying solar power a year after the video is now economical and a smart investment if you can afford to put up the money for solar!
Green energy, What …
Green energy, What is this a wishfull thinking…When I winn a lottery, then i can realise this (so when there’s somebody who like to invest in Holland you’re welcome)
Didn’t you hear he …
Didn’t you hear he got like $22k tax incentives? so he only lost $28k. And he makes hundreds of dollars a month. For doing what?
what a waste of …
what a waste of money $50K
When you combine …
When you combine Solar energy with a ICF home the benefits a staggering. A Zero energy home thats stands up to mother natures fury!
When 1kWh of energy …
When 1kWh of energy will cost 1-2 dollars,
alternative energy will become competetive.
1kWh now costs 10 cents, because we use very
cheap source to produce power, as oil for example. Nature spent millions of years to create this material, giving so good energy, when to burn 1 kg of this concentrated and pressed organics of storred energy.
And we do not care that it was need millions of years to create it.
We power our office PCs with a wind, and it is not so easy!
This is an …
This is an excellent communication and the presenter needs to be complemented.
The comments about financing are very relevant and I would like someone to do the sums and now show me the numbers on how I can get solar electricity or any kind of renewable energy for nothing or better still how to come out financially in front ?
I don’t personally …
I don’t personally have a loan on them but i’m sure someone could add the price in on their home loan. That way they can get the best interest.
