George F. Clarkson asked:

What mental picture do you get when you think of homes solar power? Do you see lonely cabins in the woods that are completely off the grid and off any map? Do you think of huge, ugly solar panels on rooftops? Do you imagine families scrimping on their use of homes solar power by doing without televisions, washing machines, or even computers? If you answer yes, it's high time someone gives you a more accurate picture of the solar panels that are ACTUALLY being used in homes today. You see, you do not have to own a cabin in the woods or live without television to make use of residential solar energy. Your house can run on solar power - in any subdivision, in any state!

More and more people are turning to homes solar power so they can either be half or completely off the grid. Solar panels have undergone changes throughout the years and are now more efficient and more importantly, less expensive to install. If you get pre-made solar panels, though, expect to fork out between $10,000 to $20,000. A stiff sum, is it not? If you look at it that way, then solar technology is more costly than regular power - but with utility and fuel costs skyrocketing the way they are doing now, that is bound to change at some point.

Experts predict that the demand for homes solar power is likely to increase by leaps and bounds in the next ten years. When it does, the industry will be ready for it. As it is, you can even create solar panels yourself. Michael Harvey shows you how in his 'Earth4Energy' manual. The manual comes with fully illustrated instructions and a video which demonstrates precisely how you can generate your own solar power using ordinary materials and for less than $200. Why not try Harvey's system now? When you do, not only will you save on power bills, you will also be doing the environment a huge favor.
