it is becoming more popular here because more states are subsidising solar panels. i heard in some regions it only generates 50% of the electrical needs.

In the UK they cost alot! We don't get that much sun which could be why it could take 20 years to see savings on the bills, after the inital payout.
Definately a good thing!

as cd says solar is not as practical in the uk as it would be in a sunnier climate. in the uk wind or wave power seems to be the way to go.
