What's the lowest price you have seen for Solar Panels? Hard to install?


Question:
I live in Alaska and that would sure save money in the long run.

Answer:
They have solar panels that produce at 70% efficiency, and they have panels that will produce electricity with snow on them.

They also work better in colder temperatures, than in hot temperatures.

They are tricky to install, that is usually done by a professional because you need to tie them into the grid, or disconnect from the grid completely. They also produce high amps, but low voltage per each panel, so that when you wire them to the power inverter you have usable electric power.
The cheapest I have seen them is 750.00 in my local hardware store.
Bizrate can find lowcost solar panels: http://www.bizrate.com/buy/superfind__ca...

You might find they won't pay in Alaska. Solar panels are still pretty inefficient. You can save money by making a solar water heater and a solar air warmer, which you can do using cheap, available materials from a hardware store or places like Home Depot or Lowes. It will save on heating costs.
