What's stopping you from getting set up with a home solar system? Everyone has their own reasons, and it's easy to try to dismiss the issue, but have you really thought about why you don't make the switch? There are three main barriers that most people try to hide behind when considering solar equipment.

The first is cost, obviously. Because it's a relatively new technology, and because each situation is different, many people aren't sure about what the actual price is. The answer to that question is in the $20,000 range. That's obviously dependent on the size of the house, but that's a great ballpark estimate. The other issue is whether or not the savings are worth it. The answer is yes, they absolutely are. In 7-10 years, you'll have paid for them in full with your savings and the government rebates that come with the purchase of complete photovoltaic units. If you don't have the money for that kind of investment, you should at least switch to LEDs. They are also quite energy efficient.
The second barrier is the information. There are a lot of rumors and misinformation going around and it's easy to get confused and then not want to have anything to do with this. However, by hiring a contractor that has taken classes from Kyocera or UniSolar you'll overcome all the rumors. You'll be working with someone who knows exactly what they're doing.
The third and final barrier is looks. A lot of people make the excuse that they think the large panels that sit on your roof are unattractive. This is understandable, though have you ever considered getting solar shingles? These special PV cells are designed to look exactly like your roof and blend right in. They're a little more expensive than the panels, though you will save money by not having to buy mounts like you do for the panels.
So you see, the barriers are nothing more than excuses when it really comes down to it. And with all the other options available (post and security lighting, patio and fence lighting, walkway and accent lighting), each powered by ultraviolet light, once you get switched over you'll never want to go back.
