Solar Power For Home

Calvin Said:

is solar power for my home unobtainable?

We Answered:

A solar-powered home isn't unobtainable. It's inefficient.

Right now, you could definitely reduce the amount of external power you use by adding a few solar panels. The issue with solar panels is finding optimal angles on your house. The other problem is that you need to buy a converter that turns this solar energy into a means of powering your home. These can cost upwards of $10,000.

There was a project done by Georgia Tech students where they created a house run completely on solar power. For more information on this:
