For private still dont now we set this on our company building ass some test for government in some project.

Only think that i know that i have 2x4 solar panels no other info i and now that i power 3 floors and rest is kept by national electrical company.

All the saving in Solar usually end up in companies selling the over price products.

End users gets little to no benefit with all the hassle of inconvenient.

exactly, solar is good, but damn expensive..

For now it is but in long term is cheap. Currently price is stable seen on some news that in some countries price will go up for 15% meaning for electrical current, if u invest now for solar power u will be in plus in 1 year max.

Can you recommend a solar system that let user ROI in 1-3 years?

For now i cant am currently reading something about it cuz im considering install it on my house so when i have some info and consult some college on department for energetic i will post here what they have told me.
So how much does it cost to install a solar panel in your country?

Well, we are going to have to turn somewhere eventually when fossil fuels run out. We also have to evaluate which alternatives are better both for the short and the long term. If we pick the wrong thing, we might just dig ourselves into a bigger hole.
It won't just be one technology.  It will have to be several.  Solar only works well in some places.  Wind only works well in some places.  The same is true of hydro and geothermal.

My personal opinion is that algae will eventually be one of the biggest sources.  Unused land like deserts with lots of sun would be great for growing algae.  It's supposed to be very energy dense (it doesn't take a lot of land to grow a lot of algae under the right conditions; it would be much more efficient that growing corn or other crops for fuel), and you can feed it sewer waste.  As the algae matures, you harvest it and squeeze the lipids out of it, and voila!  You have oil.  I think they're even trying to genetically engineer algae strains to produce end products like diesel fuel.  Cost has been the biggest problem, but time and research keep bringing it down.

you mean diesel fuel?

subsidized diesel fuel in my country already will be deleted, as it will save money solar enormous volume of his

Heard it from someone that if you own a Tesla and have Solar Panel installed in your house, you can literally get your car to run with energy from the sun!

if i remember correctly, tesla's re-fill stations are completely powered by the sun.. and it doesn't cost you anything.
That's really cool. Hope they build more recharging station like this worldwide. (I'm not living in the US.)

I've done some research of my own in the solar energy solution looking to find a good way to save money but it seems it would only save me money in 20-30 odd years in the future which  is quite hard to believe.

i had someone quote me 30k for enough solar panels to provide 700 KWH per month. they are vastly overcharging, because they were trying to convince me to buy a brand that they approved.

i was browing around a bit, and it sounds like you can get a system installed for under $10k.. so your ROI should be less than 20-30 years.
That does sound like overcharging.  700kWh/month at $0.08 per kWh would only save you $672/year.  That's only $13k in 20 years.  Unless your electricity is much more expensive than $0.08/kWh, that's a terrible deal.  How much are they charging per installed watt?  Like $10?

And if someone says you'll get so many kWh/month out of the system, make sure they tell you how many you'll get per year (is 700 a good month or bad?), and make sure you have a way of keeping them to that promise.

depends where you are living, really. where i am, 700KWH/month costs more than $200. that's $2,400 per year in minimum savings.

tier 4 costs 33 cents per KWH. the number fluctuates, but i believe you get out of tier 1 after using 180 KWH.

Wow, where are you?  From what I've read, 14 cents/kWh is on the high side, at least in the US.  33 cents sounds insane.  But that sure would make solar panels a better deal.

It doesnt cost anything to opperate.

low operating cost

ROI is 10 years
You also need to pay for the land that the solar panel is located on.

most solar panels go on rooftops though. it would be tough to get panels if you're living in an apartment complex, and there is no land to put it on in that case. so it's usually limited to homes, though i know there are some apartments that have panels.

i wonder if you could put the panels in your backyard, and use it as a rooftop.. that would serve two purposes, kind of like this:

yes its right you no need of land for this u can your your room Roof also
