Installing rooftop solar can significantly cut your power bills. A medium-sized system costs around $10,000 and can pay for itself in approximately 8 years, providing free, zero-emission energy for over 20 years.
Panels last 25-30 years and must be installed by a qualified professional. Excess electricity can be sold back to the grid. To see how much you could save, check out the home energy savings calculator from Gen Less.
