I've always been a fan of free energy from solar panels. In the past 10 years I've collected several solar panels that I bought online, but I've never really invested in a solar panel array to power our home. It just doesn't beat the cheapness and comfort of using energy from the grid. This is more like a hobby at this time, still after 10 years. Sigh.
This thread will attempt to evaluate the current practicality of solar power generation. Which is better for everyone, in the long term?
