Home solar panels have become popular because they allow the efficient use of energy without any of the pollution problems that other sources bring to bear. Not only is solar energy efficient but it also has the added advantage of being able to lower your heating and cooling bills. Who wouldn’t want to use a steady stream of electricity in their home at a discounted price?
Solar power lights became popular because they are much less expensive to install. It used to be that If you wanted landscape lights or accent lights outside you would have to call a electrician who would dig up your yard so that he could run wires underground to where you wanted the lights. Not only would your yard get torn up, but the bill that would be presented to you for the live wire being run from your house to where the lights were going to be would be enormous.
