Whether you're a fan of protecting the environment or not, you may have been wondering whether it's worth installing solar panels on your roof. Energy prices always seem to be rising, and the sun is right there, pumping energy right at us. So why shouldn't you take advantage of that and capture some of that power for your own benefit?
That was my reasoning, which developed after many years of living in apartments that would start baking under the morning sun. It seemed such a shame to let that energy go to waste, and shortly after moving into my house, I had 12 solar panels installed on my roof — plus a backup battery. That was six years ago, and they've powered me through multiple energy crises. I think we're on number three, with everything happening in the Middle East, but I've kinda lost count at this point.
