Factual Information
~Solar Panels are really expensive, but the electrical bills for the whole years cost more than the solar panels.
~Solar Panels are a great alternative for electricity.
~We found a 265-Watt Mono-Crystilline Solar Panel (2-Pack). It costs $769.00 for the 2 pack. We think this is a great deal because the total cost is $404,994.00 and it really helps that the solar panels come in 2-Packs.
~We will ask for grants from Coppellisd.
~SolarCity is going to install our solar panels because the company is specifically made for solar panels.
