Putting solar PV panels on your home's roof turns it into an asset that provides cheap electricity to the home but allows the owner to benefit from the power they provide back - all it generated from the sun's source.<br /><br />The direct incentive is to move to a lower footprint model, good for everyone. Suppliers like Homesun then coordinate this for home owners and provide <a href="http://www.homesun.com" rel="nofollow">free solar panels</a> to eligible homes, providing a practical option for owners and even providing free installation of the PV panels.<br /><br />Early days for the PV sector, and a long way to go to increase the general awareness and acceptance of solar panels providing solar energy on a home by home basis. But even the first signs of success should be enough to encourage other nations to follow suit, and take this big and important step forward.<br /><br />RichardRichardhttp://www.homesun.comnoreply@blogger.com
