ARE PLUG IN HYBRID VEHICLES PLANNING TO INCLUDE A SOLAR PANEL FOR THEIR ROOF?
Oct 16th
Question by energy dreamer:
Are plug in hybrid cars planning to include a solar panel for their roof?
If a solar panel could be carried in the trunk of a car and was put on the roof once we arrived at our sunny 20-40 mile destination and we stayed there for several hours or a complete work day, it seems it could be locked in place to avoid theft and make at least a partial charge for the drive home. If this is reasonable, what would be the minimum kw panel needed to avoid having to use any fuel?

HOW OLD/YOUNG THE ROOF SHOULD BE FOR THE SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION?
Nov 23rd
Question by Common Sense:
How old/young the roof should be for the solar panel installation?
We do not know the age of our roof. We purchased a foreclosed home so we do not know much about the history of the home such as the roof; when it was installed.
When the solar contractor came to give us an estimate, he wanted to know the age of the roof. We do not know and could not figure out. Any suggestion? And how young the roof should be for the solar panel installation. THANKS for your answer.

Q&A: WHAT SAVE MORE ELECTRICITY? SOLAR PANELS OVER HALF MY ROOF, OR TREES COVERING HALF MY ROOF?
Aug 20th
Question by anonomama:
what save more electricity? Solar panels over half my roof, or trees covering half my roof?
I was wondering which would save more money in the electricity arena (I know tree’s can damage roofs).
I had heard that the shade provided by trees covering your home can help to greatly reduce summer electric bills.
I had read that Solar panels need to go onto the south side of the house, and that is where the tree’s shade the house. So which is more cost effective?
Also I know many of the benefit’s tree’s can provide, as well as the negatives associated with massive tree’s near houses.
