Is there a way for a regular person to install solar panels on their home without spending a fortune?

If you mean that you want to install them by yourself, you might be able to buy discount solar panels, but unless you have electrician experience, you will probably end up spending a fortune in time installing them. Solar panels can be complicated, especially setting up the wiring, connections, and storage if you have it. There is a high chance for error, and repairs could be costly.

On the other hand, if you mean to hire someone to install panels for you, there are some 'cheaper' options. Most people can't afford the regular up-front payment to install solar panels, so some companies such Urban Eco Electric (UEE) in Philadelphia offer solar leasing programs. In UEE's program, you get the reduced electric bill benefits of the panels, but just pay a monthly fee to UEE for the lease.In the end you will end up saving money, but don't need to buy the panels up-front.

I think leasing programs are the best bet for average families to install solar without spending a fortune.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
