Going solar
There are many considerations to "going solar", among them, practical, economic, environmental and political considerations. In this section, we offer you an overview what it takes, and means, to "go solar". We don't pretend that going solar is for everyone, although if you are a committed environmentalist -- as SCD.Com Editor Christof Demont-Heinrich is, we believe there are few more concrete and effective ways to grow the "green economy" and the environmental movement in the United States and globally than to put panels on your home and/or garage and power your home and car that way!
Solar Leasing Police say buy your solar -- or else!

 [Photo Credit: martnpro, Flickr Creative Commons] Look out! The Solar Leasing Police are on the prowl and they think you’re an idiot for leasing a solar system instead of buying it. Are you? Well, first, we absolutely detest the condescending paternalism of the anti-leasing crowd many of whom we’re guessing probably don’t even have solar themselves (could it be because they can’t afford the big upfront costs?). |
