Is Solar Right For You?

Mother Earth News has a great online article for the beginner to solar power who wants to know if it's the right solution for their home. Sure, the sun shines everywhere, but that doesn't mean that solar is the right solution for your home's power needs. The area you live in, the cost of the system, and your average power usage are all factors to be considered here. In my opinion, photovoltaics aren't generally a solution for most homes, but solar thermals (for water heating or home heating) are.

The the great article from Mother Earth at this link.
