Solar companies who allow payment plans

Here are some sites that have some good Q and A's and info on cost.  Solar can be a big investment, but the environmental savings can be worthwhile.  Also, the savings on electrical bills can be substantial.  The amount you may be getting for a rebate could be changing in your state, also, whether or not you can sell back your electricity to the power company could be changing.  Check out these sites as well as the many sites online for up to date information.

Florescent Lights

Replacing one regular light bulb with a florescent bulb can save $30 over the life of the bulb.  The price of a good steak meal.  More information is available on the following website.

Using Solar Energy

Living in a sunny state definitely has its advantages.  Using solar energy saves a bundle on the electric bill.  So why aren't more people using it?  Cost is the problem for most people.  An average sized home with air conditioning, pool etc. can cost upwards of $25,000.  A lot of years go by before the savings makes up for the cost.  However, homeowners can take advantage of smaller solar uses, like outdoor lights, and solar radios (handy in an emergency).  Can they install solar panels themselves?  Sure, as long as a licensed electrician hooks up the power. 

We hope to explore cost effective ways to use solar power without breaking the bank.  Hope you'll share.
