Most of us need to find cheap solar panels if we are to afford Solar Energy Homes.

Usually the biggest obstacle preventing us installing solar panels is the cost.  Yes, we want to help save the planet, we want our children and grandchildren to enjoy the countryside, we want to cut our carbon footprint, but we simply cannot afford it.

Well the good news is that you can get cheap solar panels for under $3 per watt, half the price of most solar panels available retail.  You don’t have to buy dozens of them and many of these are UL certified (see below for the significance of this).  Cheap does not have to mean poor quality – far from it.  It is just a matter of knowing where to look and being patient!
