One thing I would like to see happen by the year 2020 is every American home have solar panels on their roofs. Now it has been a proven fact that having solar panels installed on your roof will pay for 35-70% of your electricity bill. Now if everyone of the homes install LED or CFL lights, their energy savings would be even more. If every building that consumes electricity that comes from coal, gas, or nuclear power had solar panels installed on the roof we would see about 50% less energy coming from dirty energy sources. That would mean 50% less pollutants being released from coal/gas. And cutting that by half, would be a very good thing.
Solar panels for your roof!
I know a lot of people would look at this idea and say, “Well, that just costs too much.” While fitting your home to be aided with solar energy can be expensive, everyone needs to look at how much money can be saved in the long run. I think it’ll be great if you can share any knowledge about the costs, both with installation and maintenance, of having solar panels installed on the roof to help get the idea off the ground.
