When you are deciding whether or not to get solar panels, you have to compare the cost of the panels with the estimated cost of electricity. Unless you are independently wealthy, the desire to go green is not enough; you have to save green, or at least break even, in order to get solar panels. Of course, the higher the cost of electricity from the grid, the more money you save with solar panels. Electricity costs have been rising, making solar a more appealing choice for people. However, they are poised to rise even more. Recently, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) approved an increase in electricity costs, making now a great time to go solar.
