Do you want to save the earth for future generations? Do you want to be prepared just in case basic services break down? Do you want to stabilize your energy bill in case the power company continues to raise their rates? Then yes, solar is for you.

The initial installation can seem pricey but if you can take advantage of the tax bennefits, your system will pay for itself in about 11-13 years. After that, everything it produces is free energy.

For those with a small amount of open area near their home, ground mounted solar is the best choice. Installation, maintenance, repair, and replacement is greatly simplified. There are also no concerns with roof loads or leaks.

Most homes have asphault shingles which have a rated lifespan of 15-25 years but most won't last more than 20. Modern solar panels are expected to last for 30-40 years unless they have to be removed in order to replace an aging roof. Also, rooftop solar mounts require that holes are made through the shingles and into the roof. Every extra screw or fastener is yet another chance for a leak.

Dependent on your needs, most do not need a battery back-up for thier solar. Why do you need batteries? How often does your power go off and stay off for a considerable amount of time? Does your provider leave you without power for days at a time on a regular basis?
