The New Solyent Green.

Seriously, if you live in a climate with lots of year around sunshine, like southern California and the American Southwest, solar energy can be a good investment.

Mediterranean countries’ homes and businesses have solar energy hookups.

I hope they only build them in Bird free zones!!!

The great thing about solar is that it’s way bigger than the monstrously expensive PV arrays that the dimwits in DC focus on. The best solar investments are DIY projects:

You can build these for a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars, some of which will pay for themselves in a year or two.

And projects for every climate too. Like space heating a Montana barn in the dead of winter.

We have tons of sunshine where we live. The problem is the systems are exorbitantly expensive. A 20 year payoff is just not in the cards. Besides I would hope that in 20 years the systems they have now would be seriously outdated......which means you just paid off something worth nothing.

Until the prices come down it just doesn’t make sense. And I am one who would love a total roof coverage of solar if possible.
