Guy Said:

How expensive is expensive? what is the dollar amount?

We Answered:

Solar panels, associated hardware, and installation are expensive. Depending on how much power you need, the cost varies quite a lot! Around $10,000 will get you panels for a small house; if you're trying to power a business or larger building, it's in the hundreds of thousands. I've got a small system I built for small appliances at home (powers alarm clocks and a battery charger) for about $500.

Solar panel USE isn't expensive, it's free. Perhaps they were thinking of maintenance and upkeep costs?

Walter Said:

if we installed solar panels in our school what is the installation fees?

We Answered:

Many Companies will supply new technology and/or installation free or partially free to schools ( tax write-off ) as part of marketing,etc. Research all those possibilities,find all the Companies there are ( emerging,are good prospects ). Then recruit someone talented in Grant-writing skills and start making pleas.
