In the past, the main reason why I've never really given serious thought to adding solar panels to my house is because they were just too expensive. At least, the up-front costs were too much for me at the time. (I didn't want to wait 10 years to "break-even" on the initial cost of installing a home solar power system)

But then I heard about a way to install solar panels that is affordable for me. Now I am getting ready to give it a shot. I found some great tutorial videos and a step-by-step guide from a company called Earth 4 Energy.
