If given the choice between conventional energy sources and solar ones, I think most folks would feel morally compelled to go the green route and use that flaming hot orb for more than just a nice tan. Making the switch may seem like a daunting one, which is why homeowners should look to the good people at Find Solar for assistance in taking that first step. Find Solar is an online resource that connects homeowners with solar contractors in their area. It also has a “solar estimator” tool that allows you to determine (somewhat roughly) the cost and payback of installing a solar system in your home. It will also calculate the greenhouse gases (CO2) saved over the 25 year life-span of the system. It’s worth a trip to their site just to use that nifty little tool. Come on, people. This planet isn’t going to get healthy on its own…
