Question by anthroguy101: How effective is solar power?
I am very concerned about global warming, and when I grow up (I’m only fourteen) I plan on using solar power to power my home (and I hope that when I grow up it’s customary). How efficient is solar power? How many square feet would it take to power a 2,000 square foot home? How much would it cost?
