With a major emphasis placed on the ever increasing cost of energy to heat and air condition a home consumers are seeking alternative means to bring the cost of energy down and ease up on the planets natural resource supply. It seems that (Direct) solar panels for harvesting the sun’s solar power are the most familiar and commonly researched source for energy today. This is probably due to the idea that the cost of solar energy is free for the taking but the cost to collect the energy is not.
During our latest energy efficient home project we researched the viability of adding Direct PV (photo voltaic) solar energy to the home. This is what we learned after careful and lengthy consideration—it was not very cost effective at the present time even after we calculated in the grants we could get. The following are some of the reasons for our determination:
