Solar panels to become cheaper

Years ago I had a solar panel installed on our roof for the princely sum of NZ$6000. During those years it has helped us cope with the cost of energy by heating our water. This of course depends on how much sun the panel gets according to the season and cloud cover each day. Over all it has proven itself effective after considerable service to the household. Even earlier than that, a friend, Steven Tetlow built such a generator and used it to charge car batteries which then ran an alternating supply to his home. It worked so well that he disconnected his house from the national grid!

Today I read an article on this front that may be good news for you:Solar panel costs 'set to fall'

It seems several of these schemes are becoming money makers as well as their creators sell the energy produced by them without any harm to the environment (unless you object to wind farms or that your neighbor has one when you don't).
