Would you want them? I wouldn’t mind having them if they were cheap & easy to install. Plus if they lasted longer & the batteries could be recycled when they needed to be replaced.

No, I don't have any and I'm not sure if I'd want any right now. I would have to investigate and research the policy of my power company on how they handle individuals putting power into the grid.

Don't have solar panels right now...and would have to look into them more. Don't know enough about them.

I don't have them and don't foresee myself getting them anytime soon. But maybe in the future, but first I got to get my own place and that will cost a lot.

We were going to have them when we built our home way back, but they were just out of reach in our budget, so we left them.

I bought one motion sensore controlled solar light, but this wasn't worked for me at all. The light is built very well, but the sensor gone faulty after 2 or 3 days. ZandraJoi, You can try with these type of lights or solar mobile charger and see how they works. They can give some education on it for learning.

I do not have solar panels currently, but I would definitely like to have them. It seems like it would save money, especially since we have a larger household that uses quite a bit of energy.

www.naturalnews.com/2020-09-25-solar-waste-problem.html"Solar power is neither as clean nor as sustainable as environmentalists make it out to be With Big Solar on the rise, experts fear that the world could be facing a solar panel waste problem.

My notes: Different perspective on this from an older article. Does make sense though. What happens when solar panels are broken? Hard enough to recycle everyday things. I wish companies would be eco start to finish.

In my farm house, I have installed solar panels and I use solar energy for lights as well as heating. I use bio gas for cooking.

I would love to have all solar! To do that, I imagine a house would have to be updated on the roofing,and electrical outlets. Which would be expensive.

I don't have solar panels at the moment, but it is something that I should be looking at getting in the near future. I have gotten a lot of positive reviews from some of my friends that use it here.

I really like the solar roof concepts where it is basically a single roof, but all solar panels. Although they are too pricey for me.

Due to the high price of electricity, I have installed them to reduce the bill of electricity from STEG.

This is national company in our country for providing electricity and gaz and pay every three months the bill of electricity and gaz.

I know a co-worker that recently got them, said it was easy and already saving her some money, since she lives out in the country there is lots of sun to soak up.

One reason I would never install them is fear of storms, a good hail or tornado would damage them and I imagine you have to keep them clear in the winter.
