   This is a really informative video about solar panels. Especially for the lay-person like myself who needs things put in real life terms.

   What great information! I had no idea that the special light bulbs could give such great savings. I have been using them in all of my lights and have seen a reduction in my Electric bill. Thanks for the info.I had considered going solar but the payback time is too long.

   I never knew that solar panels didn’t make that much electricity. When you compare the cost of pv to the cost of going efficient first, it just makes sense. This means that most homeowners would be far better off saving energy first, before making energy with solar pv. Got It Thanks. This info. needs to get out there!

   This is so timely as I was just proposing to my wife that we get solar panels. I think we can postpone that for a while now.
