Would I have to change the current wiring in my home, or just hook up to the solar panels? How much are solar panels? How do you determine what kind, size panels do get?
Would doing this really cost me less than using my local electric company, or is this mainly used for “Going Green”?

I am currently looking into this myself. So far I have found ut that yes there are certain requirements for wiring. You must also have solar water heaters, as well as the panels them selves. It can cost as much as 40,000 dollars or more. Some states are offering incentives such as paying pats of installation cost, or for the materials, or tax rebates. Some are behind. Start by going to your local electric power website and yu can find more links and information depending n where you live.
If you are wanting to save money right now this is not the way to do it. For a small house it will cost you at least $50 000.00
You also need a roof at a certain angle to get the most benefit out of the solar panels, and have no trees near by to block the sun. If you are in a colder climate where it snows solar will not work there. You also need to be able to go up on your roof and clean the panels every few days.
In the long run solar is a lot cheaper. It is the start up cost that is so expensive, but once you pay that off you will really see some savings. You can either use batteries to store the energy from the panels or you can have your meter run backwards.
Solar is really being done by people that want to be green, or are in an area that don’t have electricity.
expensive… depending on the size of your home and your energy use.. i would save anywhere from 30 to 50 thousand.. butt the state will pay you for about half of that
A lot of it depends on where you live.
how large is your house.
how many sunny days you get a year.
and how large your utility bill is.
I found this website very informative, especially if you go down to where the questions and answers are.

Take a look at Earth 4 Energy. It shows you how to make and install a solar power system plus how to make a power producing windmill. Great for reducing electricity bills in addition to green, clean, lifelong energy.
