Going solar is an exciting prospect, but many consumers are learning as they go. With the speed of learning comes mistakes, but it is from these mistakes that users learn more about solar panels. To help customers better understand the process, it is important to emphasize that the need for solar panels is not based on the size of your home, but on how much electricity you use each month. For example, two families can live in the same sized home, but their electricity needs differ. For example, the kids in Family A like to leave the lights on and play games all day, while both parents work from home. This family uses more electricity than Family B, whose members are either in school or at work all day, not to mention attending extracurricular activities and PTA events. Family A's electricity bill is twice as high as Family B's.
