Why Smart Homeowners Go Solar

This is a graph of the price of solar panels in Australia. Is it any wonder that solar panels are becoming very popular, very quick - especially with electricity prices going in the opposite direction.



But it seems that it still takes a while for the message to get through. A recent USA study showed 74% of people vastly overestimating the cost of going solar (thinking it was a 5-figure sum). But 8 out of 10 also said they would go solar if cost was not a factor. That's a lot of solar power potential - when they realise just how economical it is.
