Do-It-Yourself Solar Panels

From Yahoo news: "Lowe’s, the home-improvement chain, will begin selling do-it-yourself, 40-pound solar panels nationwide for around $895 each. The panels are designed by Akeena Solar, Inc., based in Los Gatos, Calif. Akeena says installation is doable for a novice, but applying for government and utility permits might take some expertise. Akeena panels produce 175 watts of electricity, enough to power a flat-screen TV. Most purchasers will want more than one. Lowe’s also is offering software that allows homeowners to use their home computers to monitor the performance of each panel." see full story http://bit.ly/4XXZ03
