Saves you money - With the rising cost of fossil fuels, solar panels will save you money in the long run. Of course you have the initial start-up costs but after that, your costs are zero.
And with a solar pv system, if you produce more electricity than you use, you can sell it back to your utility company.

If you have a solar water system then you will save money there as well. Just think of all that piping hot, free hot water.

Environmentally friendly - This is obviously one of the main advantages of solar energy as it doesn't add to global warming. Solar panels are clean and renewable. It doesn't pollute. And it does not add to the cost and problems of storing dangerous radioactive waste.

Low maintenance - Solar panels operate silently with no moving parts. This makes them virtually maintenance free.

Independence - Solar panels operate entirely independently of the power companies so you are not beholden to the rising costs of fossil fuels. And it makes it easier to get electricity if you live in a remote location where electricity might not be so readily available.

And it doesn't need to cost you a fortune to set-up the various installations. Click here for the easy, low cost ways to go 'green'.
