The solar industry suffers from too much supply globally.\u00a0Supply-demand balance is expected to return in\u00a0another year or two. The solar industry is heavily dependent on the Chinese and Japanese market now.\u00a0Solar energy prices have reached grid parity in a number of places already. It is thus more\u00a0profitable to install solar panels in your home rather than buying electricity from a utility. The continuous decrease in solar panel prices, coupled with fossil fuel price increase have forced the masses’ interest more towards solar panels installation. 2013 is expected to be a strong solar year. My best solar panels pick alongwith their description and models available is given below:<\/p>\n
