In the next year or two, Will consumers choose to power their homes with solar energy based on saving money alone?

Best answer:

Answer by Raymond Ricky
no way. solar energy is way too unreliable considering that 8 hours of the day is in darkness and the energy has to be stored in battery banks. solar and wind can be used in conjunction with utilities nicely though. the power company winds up buying the energy your solar panels or wind turbine produce and passes the savings of what it used onto you, cutting your bill tremendously.
