Residential solar makes sense
Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy program published an updated fact sheet on solar electric systems:
Solar electric systems will be an important source of electricity for the 21st century. These systems can easily be located in urban areas and integrated attractively into buildings. They are silent, produce no emissions, and require no fuel other than sunlight. With a grid-connected solar electric system, it is not necessary to depend totally on solar power. Many grid-connected residential systems provide half or less of the power required yet still contribute to offsetting fossil fuel electricity production.
