I wonder.I asked a vendor at a home show how much his solar panels really cost. Pinning them down to cost is not easy. He told me that enough panels to run a home air conditioner (the major power draw here in the summer) would cost about $5,000. We compared costs, and he agreed solar was not for me, too expensive. Since he was in the business of selling solar, I believed him.Still, I have friends who pay as much as $600 a month in the summer, people with big houses, kids, and a pool. If you could save say, half of that $600 by installing five grand in solar panels, that's $300 a month. At that rate, you'd pay back the $5,000 cost in less than two years. Solar isn't for everyone. The panels are expensive, no question. They do have some applications, however.
