How Much Do Solar Power Systems Cost?

Solar power has been around for decades now, but relatively few people have been able to devote the money and/or time to making it work for them. Today, a new generation of "plug-and-play" solar products allows homeowners to enjoy the benefits of solar power for less than $5,000 and a 30-minute installation. This alternative energy source probably won’t power your entire house, but can easily reduce your electric bill by 10 percent or more, as well as giving you the satisfaction of knowing you’re using clean, renewable energy.
