My mother has been talking about putting solar power panels on the roof of her house.

I've done a little research as to solar power in Kentucky and I am still unsure as to if it is a good idea for her.

I was wondering if anyone in the group has had experience using solar power in Kentucky, in particular the southeast part of the state. What factors should she take into consideration? She lives in town as opposed to a rural setting, is that a factor? Is it a good idea? What do you wish you had known before you installed solar panels? What pitfalls and benefits are there? In particular what benefits/pitfalls are there as it relates to Kentucky?

Thanks for your help.

my opinion.....it will take at least 10 years before you recoup the $$$ spent on installing it. Also, there are many hidden costs and you need to ask the right questions BEFORE signing anything. For example, how many watts will the system provide initially? How many battery packs will you need? Will it power the A/C or heat and still run everything else in the house?

They only tell you what the BASIC system will cost. Research, research, research before you do anything.
