Lowes is one company that is starting to sell do-it-yourself solar panels. Their stores in California are already stocking the shelves for the New Year. Manufactured by Akeena Solar, Inc., one solar panel will generate about 175 watts. That is enough energy to power a flat-screen television. This is great news because people will be able to see the effects of solar energy without having to spend money to hire a professional installer. The homeowner will need to get clearance from their electric company and a permit and do their own rebate application, but the benefits will be worth it. The panels will sell for about $900.00 each.
