It can be expensive but if you are a do-it-yourself type, you can cut the costs considerably by making your own solar panels. I've just gotten started building my own solar panels and have been able to figure it out from instructions I got on this great website. Gives everything you need to know, materials you need, where to get them, and step-by-step instructions. Here's the site:

Why is Solar energy can be used in remote areas where it is too expensive to extend the electricity power grid?
The cost to run utility electricity to remote areas is very high. It is cheaper to install a small battery solar electric system for this reason.
Is the earth they only planet you can live on?
So far as scientists know, Earth is the only habitable planet in at least our solar system. The universe is far too expansive for them to know in regards to the entire thing.
What are the advantages of having a solar power generator?
The advantages of solar power generator are just too many and the foremost is it enables to produce solar power which is an inexhaustable source of power supply. The solar power generator stores the solar energy produced throughs olar panels to be used any time, during day or night even during cloudy days. Youdo not have to depend on fossil fuel which is costlier and diminishing everyday.
What are the positives about using Solar Power?
Renewable safe efficient But it has negatives too: We have to buy the the panels (they cost a lot of money) Install the panels relies on the sun. if you think that my answer is incorrect or inappropriate you can email me at 09toddlistere@darfield.school.co.nz please do not swear at me if i got it wrong!
When is solar power use full?
I think solar power is always useful if the sun's there. You can use if you don't want to pay for your electric bills and you can help the environment too! (If you want more info email cookiecrumb8@yahoo.com)
Does a solar panel generates electricity even if there is no sun in the sky?
Solar panels are not dependent upon the sun to shine from a cloud free sky. Solar Panels generates power on a cloudy day too. They just do not generate power at night. They do generate more power the brighter it is though. Sunlight from a clear sky is the best.
Does an Elster GREX meter measure solar power generated in excess of current demand?
It depends how it is installed. It will usually measure the total solar power generated. If you have a contract to supply extra energy back to the grid, then it can measure that too.
What countries do not use solar energy?
Most of the nations on the Earth don't bother with solar power, because solar power doesn't work at night or when it's cloudy, the batteries to store it aren't good enough, and it's too expensive for the small amount of power that comes from solar power here on Earth. In outer space, satellites use solar panels to acquire solar power, but, here on the planet, solar power is not that important a source of energy. A lot of breakthroughs have to occur for solar power to become practical and a competitive source of power.A:Scientists all over the world are working hard to develop and improve ways of harnessing solar energy and turning it into electricity. Many countries have pilot schemes they are trying, and everyone is hoping for a breakthrough, because solar power is pollution free and contributes NO greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The first answer gives the wrong idea altogether!
Can solar cells be used to power passenger trains?
At present, no they cannot. They are far too inefficient and do not produce enough power. Electricity provided by solar cells on a train could help run some of the auxiliary services, in some circumstances.
Why Indian government does not come forward in implementing 'Solar power systems'?
India is actually the world's second largest producer of solar power systems behind the United States. The Indian Government is not pushing the issue too hard because they are waiting to validate that enough resources are available naturally and that solar power will provide what is needed for the country with the climate there being so extreme.
Were can you find renewable fuel?
Sunlight is renewable. With solar panels you can use it to produce electricity.Wind power is similar.Water power (hydro-electric dams, tidal power, wave power) is similar.Boiling water from under the ground is renewable, too.
Why did the mars rover go offline?
NASA's rover Spirit went offline likely because its solar panels were too thoroughly covered in Martian dust to provide it with power. Since the solar panels were its only source of power, it shut down and became unresponsive.
