The solar panel has always been looked upon as the undisputed icon of clean, limitless energy. However, though they have been around since the 1950s, their adoption has been hindered by technological and cost barriers.
Most solar panels you see on rooftops and solar power stations are made from crystalline silicon (c-Si), which is expensive to procure and work with.
They are also very rigid in construction, which limits their installation to flat surfaces only....

The 21st century has brought with it various advancements which are impressive; be those cell phones which can access the internet, or new, insanely fast forms of travel such as the hyperloop, which is currently undergoing trials.
But even as our technology is progressing by leaps and bounds, most of our devices and ways of life are powered by antiquated fossil fuels which are leaving a trail of destruction of the likes our world has never known...

To most people, solar power is a luxury which they can never afford. To go solar is a status symbol – “here’s a family which can afford to free itself from the shackles of the local power utility” is the thought going through someone's mind who passes by a home with solar panels installed on its roof tops.
While this has historically been the case (average installed system cost in US in 1998 was $10.80 per Watt, which would round up to $54,000 for a 5 kW system), people do not seem to realize just how much has changed. In fact a recent survey by Harris Interactive found that as many as 97% Americans overestimated the cost of having solar panels installed...

Solar power is gaining popularity the world over as the cost of both producing, and installing solar panels is declining rapidly. While the price tag on a solar power installation is only a 10th of what it used to be in the early 1990s, they are still a big investment for most home owners, as most installations cost $15,000 - $45,000 in the US, making warranties provided that much more important.
No doubt bank loans and subsidies by the government can remove many of the financial hassles. However, since this is an investment in costly hardware which will pay itself back over a period of decades, you will want to know what kind of warranties you are entitled to, and how long they typically last.

Subject: Celebrating Earth Day With Solar Power
Dear "member_name",
This April 22nd will mark the 44th Earth Day and boy do we have some great news to celebrate it with! Support for renewable energy such as solar power is increasing exponentially the world over as more and more countries are beginning to adopt a greener energy production policy.
For instance, Japan recently completed two floating solar plants in Hyogo prefecture, while India has begun working on the world’s largest solar power station which is expected to become operational by 2017. In US, solar power adoption has grown by an impressive 418% from 2010 to 2014 alone – that’s 10,000 Megawatts of power added in 4 years.

Subject: Yes, Going Solar Can Save You Big Time!
Dear “member_name”,
Solar power has been gaining traction at a very rapid pace, not only throughout the country, but the world in general as well.
This really goes in the face of everything that most people tend to believe about solar power. To regular folk, solar power is a status symbol, meant for the rich and wealthy, who can afford to distance themselves from their local utility.
But this is hardly the case anymore.

Dear progressive homeowner,
If you have had any inkling of suspicion that your electricity bill has been rising over the years, then it is not your mind playing tricks on you.
Your local electricity utility is slowly cranking up the heat, and if you do not sit up and take stock, you might end up paying thousands of dollars more in electricity bills than you really need to.
