Not very several times ago solar power was only for the unconventional millionaire or for the geek who squirted facts and formulas like a college educator and solar panels were a rare sight on rooftops, mainly because of cost. Oil was affordable and electricity was not expensive, so who would spend high bucks on a solar panel that only operated during the day while competitive electricity was possible from the grid day and night?
Things start to change when oil costs went up a concise but as prices went up, even higher, a rising number of homeowners started to look to solar power as an answer to high energy costs.
While discussing Pedleys Solar, I learned that predictably, as the market for solar panels grew, prices dropped, due to more contenders entering the solar cell production industry and the improved prosperity of scale that resulted from prolonged production runs and bulk purchasing of raw materials and other components and parts.
