With technology blazing along at the pace it's been the last couple of years, we now have flexible solar panels, adhesive solar panels, transparent solar panels (can be overlayed on glass surfaces such as windows). These solar panels are also becoming evermore increasingly efficient at converting even the smallest amounts of sunlight into energy. They now work in sun, cloudly, rainy, and even with flourescent lights... :)

The prices are also continually coming down for these products as well. We should be providing financial incentives to convince people to add solar power (or other alternative energies) into their homes.

It'll reduce the strain on our craptastic local grid and also allow the owners to sell back the energy they don't use to the utilities.
