Solar power panels - Alternative Power

Solar panels can be installed on a free standing frame, on the roof or be part of the roof. To be efficient they do need to face north and be clear of shadows. Solar panels have a guaranteed output for 15 years and can last much longer. 
Solar panels from 10 watts to 140 watts are available. Solar panels only generate power during sunny days so storage is required to provide for night time and sunless days. 
Wind turbines and solar panels combine well together to provide steady power production. The complimentary nature of wind turbines and solar panels means that an extra large battery bank to provide power for windless or sunless days is unnecessary.
