They're for experimentation mainly. Obviously using a bit of common sense you’ll understand that most people aren’t going to be able to use a solar panel kit to power all of their home’s needs.

Blogger Darren at "Our Green Empire" states "For people interested in upgrading their homes to solar power, solar panel kits might be an option." 45W output... powering two 5w fluorescents is a solar option for my home? Battery and inverter not included in the $250. 8-10 hours to charge battery per 1 hour usage. Solar is not an option for my home anytime soon- Perhaps in 7-10 years at best, and definitely not cost equivalent to Coal and Nuclear without Govt handout support (read tax my kids.) Don't stop fantasizing about solar and wind, but please stop talking like "it's a real alternative right now!" This is absolutley disingenuous.
