Our community was considering installing solar panels on one local home as a demo for other new home buyers in our area, to show that they are not complicated to install and that the benefits are huge. Because it’s a community effort, we’re going to check into solar grants or private sponsorship to help cover costs. This effort will lead the way in making our area greener, and a good portion of the costs will be covered by grants!

You want other people to pay for your solar panels? Funny. There are not that complicated or hard, just expensive. You'll pay $18,000 today to save $800 a year in electricity expenses and the cells last about 20 years. It really needs to be about $9000 to be cost effective.
There are rebates and tax savings available.
