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.

In my opinion, photovoltaics aren't generally a solution for most homes, but solar thermals (for water heating or home heating) are.
