Solar power goes mainstream
| Quote From Source: |
We have been told for years how great solar power is. But one thing has been missing from the equation - the solar panels themselves.
Not any more, in the UK at least. Domestic solar power is finally a mainstream consumer prospect as Currys, one of the nation's electrical chainstores, is to start selling panels for the home alongside its normal fare.
An average three-bedroom house will need nine roof-mounted solar panels costing about £9000, Currys says. This compares with £16,000 from the specialist suppliers who have cornered the market to date, according to calculations from the Financial Times (paid sub required, I'm afraid).

Solar power is the future.
I think nuclear energy steals investments from the future.
Photovoltaic in the cities is the most ecological solution instead of invading territories of natural importance with huge constructions.

Technology is making great steps in the advance of this technology.
Imagine all the rooftops of dveloped countries cities covered with photovoltaic cells

photovoltaic roof tiles/shigles are the most innovative solution.
