The increasing demand for energy is exhausting the non renewable energy sources like coal, oil and natural gas and is having a bad effect on the environment. Soon we will need to turn to alternative sources of energy such as residential solar power to power our homes. When it comes to using energy generated from the sun, many individuals do not consider it as an option simply because they think it will be too complicated or too expensive. But with the advancements in technology and the rise in demand for Solar power qld systems, solar energy is within the reach of any average individual. We know that electricity is created by using solar panels that consist of photovoltaic (PV) cells. The photovoltaic cells convert the sun's energy into electricity for your home. This electricity is typically enough to keep up with most of your modern day appliances and electronics. A single solar panel, although it won’t power your entire home, can lessen the cost of your utility bill every year, making it a viable renewable energy source for your home. When switching to solar power, you can cut your electricity bill down to as much as eighty five percent or more depending on the area you live, and the amount of energy you produce. You can sell the excess electricity back to the electric company. Now, instead of paying them, they pay you. With all these advantages, solar energy is one of the fastest growing trends on the market. Thousands of people throughout the world are starting to use residential solar power. It’s high time we started doing the same.

Solar is not as green as they'd like you to believe. They're strip mining the metals used in solar panels and are starting to run out of it. That's what I've read. Research it further if you like, I don't have the time to at the moment.

I can't find anything on that. I've found a bunch of articles on old strip mines that are now useless for anything else being covered in solar arrays.
