Solar, Solar , Solar. I know its the latest craze right? Even though harnessing solar rays into energy is as old of a method as anyone that will be reading this in fact, just about everyone has seen or used a solar powered calculator, lamp and heck many areas are already covered in solar rooftops (which are the traits of a great salesman in my opinion). When you see certain housing tracks where the entire street has solar panels but two streets down nothing, you can surely bet to have some flyers on your door or a knock or two. From solar water heaters on or off grid systems for use in your entire house or business solar arrays are definitely a growing trend in America.
The obvious up side is lowering your energy bill while protecting the earth. I'm sold ...but wait a second,how many thousand for that? It will take some calculating to even see the difference and for most it's not enough of a savings to pull the trigger yet. And I would venture to guess that this is the big reason for solar panels not being on every roof.
The ease of paying installments to your electric company (who probably has a solar farm somewhere in it's grid) is easier and makes sense to many. The average cost of solar panels are between $6-10 per watt without installation (anything more and you are being jacked, honest, I will prove it if you email me). Now remember I said without installation.
Just about evey alternative energy company is scrambling to lower the cost of solar, but will this be another case of gas vs. ethanol? I mean for a .10-.15 cent per gallon savings, it might be easier to just run gasoline and not drive 40 miles out of the way to fill up, right? Kind of like healthcare where profits come far before saving citizens money. Well I am not sure, in this case I think that solar companies are trying to find ways to lower the cost, but how are they going to do this.
You read it here on TheMonthlyOnline.com , through silicone recycling. Silicon breasts still rule, but seriously there are companies now paying for used silicon to recycle and resell to solar manufacturers. Where am I going with this, why the article? The lower prices are coming, but the big question is, will it be too late? But on the bright side even if you don't have the money to invest into a solar array for your home or business, you can use the earnings from smart investing into silicon recycling companies to help finance your array, or heck even help pay the electric bill.
