		<description><![CDATA[People turn to solar power for several different reasons:

 High energy prices
 Climate change
 Fossil fuel depletion
Solar energy costs are coming down

When these factors are taken into account, it&#8217;s no wonder that people are going solar.  Here are some more data on each:
High Energy Prices

		<description><![CDATA[Pros
The most obvious advantage to solar energy is no operational carbon emissions.  Other advantages include reduced dependence or even complete independence from fluctuating energy markets and efficient power generation in areas that do not have access to a power grid.  In areas that do not have access to the power grid, it is frequently cheaper [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The exact pros and cons of photovoltaic solar power depend partly on whether you have a grid-tied system or an off-grid system.  So, what exactly are those pros and cons?
Off-grid Solar
Off-grid solar systems require substantial maintenance because of the battery banks necessary for storing electricity.  These batteries require occasional replacement and can be a fairly [...]]]></description>
