Solar Power Advantages and Limitations: Why You Should Install Solar
Panels
Solar PV power is reliable. Year over year, the amount of sunlight
that hits your
roof doesn’t vary that much. This means that it’s easy to predict
how much
electricity your system will produce over the course of its lifetime
(and how much
you’ll save on your monthly electric bill — see next point). In
fact, some solar
installers even offer power production guarantees: if your solar
energy system
doesn’t produce the annual production stated in the contract,
they’ll pay you the
difference.

Solar Gains Traction—Thanks to Subsidies
Falling solar-panel prices, generous government subsidies and rising
power costs
are creating a new breed of solar enthusiasts: people who are
installing panels on
their roof because they see it as a good investment, not because
they are out to
save the world.

Pace of Solar Panel Installations to Match Apple’s Sales Growth
I’ll be the first to admit it: solar panels aren’t as cool as the
iPad. I mean, at
the end of the day, all they do is turn sunlight into clean,
predictably priced
electricity, right? The iPad, meanwhile, can do just about
everything short of
raising your children. (To be fair, I think they’re working on an
app for that.)

The GSR-110B solar generator uses flexible solar cells developed by
Fuji Electric Systems, and it is a mini solar setup that is
completely off-grid, since it includes its own small rechargeable
battery right in the case.
