As the cost of electricity, oil and other forms of heating skyrocket the use of passive solar heating is becoming more and more popular with homeowners. Carmanah, Global Solar, Kyocerai, Photowatt, Schott,Shell, SunWize, Uni-Solar, and Yingli make solar panels that can be installed by a DIY type. Solar panels can be bought by watt, from 1 to 5 watts to 200 watts and greater. These solar panels are generally easy to install for most DIY’ers. They require virtually no maintenance, and will last for decades. Some local governments, and the federal government may have tax incentive programs for homeowners who put in solar power. Check with your local government agency.
