Solar Panel Cost Price Analysis - Advantages And Disadvantages Of Going Solar
The cost!
Solar panels are undeniably expensive. They cost from around 6,000 to install the smallest photovoltaic (electricity-generating) system, up to 20,000 for a very large household system. You can spend a lot more than this - farmers or large businesses may install hundreds of square metres of solar panels to reap the rewards of the government schemes on offer.
Thermal systems are a lot cheaper to install, with prices ranging from about 3,000 to 5,000.
Fortunately, there is little on-going cost with solar panels. They are known for being very robust and very reliable. They are used, for example, in airport landing lights or road signs - they work day in, day out, with very little input from those who own them. This lack of maintenance really means that the only cost of solar panels is the up-front price you pay when getting them initially installed.

ANSWER:
Hard to say. Solar panels are becoming more common these days. May want to ask if the vendor is licensed and bonded contractor (if he's doing installation as well as panel sales). Find out the name of the equipment that this guy is selling (panels and other hardware) and do a search.For that matter, get the guys name and do a search on it to see he pops up elsewhere.

QUESTION:
Can a solar panel company sell carbon credits?
I am looking to rent roof space and install my own solar panels to produce power. Of course the power will be sold to the local power company, but I am wondering if I can sell Carbon Credits to local companies as well. Does anyone have any info?-
ANSWER:
There are carbon brokers who specialize in trading carbon credits. Some states have higher rates than others. In the US, it is still not likely to be a profitable business model until they improve the Feed-In-Tariff policy. Some European countries are set up that it is a great way to make money. http://www.brokerscarbon.com/
