There are two basic kinds – solar water heating, and solar electricity.
For either, you can look up a solar installer in your phone book, and they’ll probably have a web page explaining how it works. I have never seen an installer that wouldn’t come by for a free, no-obligation quote. I say look in the phone book because if you do a web search, a lot of scam websites selling misleading do-it-yourself information will pop up.
A solar water heater will run $ 3-6k, then you get some rebate, depending on where you live. Solar electric that is financially viable generally starts at about $ 8000, and can go way up from there. Again, you get tax credits or incentives depending on where you live. The installer can explain how the finances work, and what your bottom line price would be.
For about $ 200 – $ 250, you can get yourself set up with a solar panel system or a wind power system, if you’re willing to learn how to do it yourself. This is the method that will save you the most money in the long run, as it will eliminate your power bills.
