Solar systems are expensive..... but then they are not.
I am in the process of installing 5 panels on my van. If you have the work done, the cost can be prohibited but if you do it yourself, it can be affordable.
That is on a minor scale.
As for a home: I recently took a major set back on getting solar for my home. The local government insists the work must be done by a liscensed Contractor. Individuals can not do the work. I did not like reading that.
Then I gave it some thought. I could go to the local college, take the necessary courses, take the exam and become a liscensed contractor. The next hurdle would be getting the permit and doing the actual work ..... up to code.
