solar panels, going green  Solar Panels

I live in a pretty rural area of the country where there is a lot of farms, woods, and rolling countryside. In my town there are about 10,000 people total including some of the outlying communities. One of the things I have been noticing a lot lately is the number of people who are using solar panels and different Going green technology for their electricity.

In one stretch of road I counted, out of 15 houses, seven that had solar panels or a wind turbine. I've been thinking about it myself, but had always heard different reports from people who have tried it before. Some liked it real well, and some others didn't. I decided to stop in and ask what some of these people thought about it. I talked with a guy who had a couple of solar panels on his home asked him about this
technology. He said he loved it and is practically getting free electricity. He didn't think of it as going green as much as just using alternative energy sources to save the environment and some money. I will continue thinking about these solar panels, but it looks like I'll probably go that way soon.
