There is so much going on in the area of solar energy these days.  It’s a very exciting time.  One of the main hold backs to going solar, especially on a residential level is cost.  Programs and Research and Development need to evolve and it looks like that is taken place. According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory  there is excellent research taking place that will dramatically cut the cost of today's solar photovoltaic (PV) panels.

Solar attic fans are another great way to save money and get even more green energy tax refunds!  With summer coming up cooling off is going to become important and expensive, but by installing solar attic fans you can not only lower your cooling bill but extend the life of your roof too!
