The Other Side Of Solar Power

Now who said that solar power was really the main solution to all our green problems? After all, if you really do think about it, solar power comes directly from the sun. There are no by-products with using solar power. Solar products are also green and they can be a wee bit expensive but in the long run, you would be saving much for you would not have to shell out to pay those expensive electricity bills you run each month. And then we also are helping our environment as well.

However, there is another side to that story and it was disclosed in a report I found just today. Here’s what it says:

Installing “green” energy saving measures in the home is so expensive it can take more than 200 years to cover the cost.

Solar panels are one of the least cost effective upgrades, according to the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (Rics), which today published The Greener Homes Price Guide.

What’s your take on this?
