We all hear and know that solar energy is good, but few really understand why.  Solar Energy is clean, renewable (unlike gas, oil and coal) and sustainable.
Solar Energy has a great advantage of saving you money in the following ways:

 -  After the initial investment has been recovered, the energy from the sun is practically
     FREE, and the savings remain for years to come

 -   The recovery/ payback period for this investment can be very short depending on how
     much electricity your household uses.
 -   Financial incentives are available form the government that will reduce your cost.
     If your system produce more energy than you use, your utility company can buy it from
     you, building up a credit on your account! This is called net metering.
 -   It will save you money on your electricity bill if you have one at all.
 -   Solar energy does not require any fuel.
 -   Its not affected by the supply and demand of fuel and is therefore not subjected to the
     ever-increasing price of gasoline. By not using any fuel, Solar Energy does not contribute
     to the cost and problems of the recovery and transportation of fuel or the storage of
     radioactive waste.
