I'd love to hear from someone who has successfully had solar panels installed and what their experience was and is.
I think it has more to do with the fact that solar panels that produce electricity cost a LOT of money, probably more than we older people will recoup before we exit stage right.

EVERYBODY is for solar power, that is a given. Except for the power companies, whose business it is to sell power.

What I am against is you paying for my solar power panels and me paying for yours and for other peoples. I don't want it to be a government thingy.
