How Does Solar Energy Efficiency Compare to Electricity?
Solar energy efficiency definitely beats electricity if the buyer can afford higher up-front costs. Many homeowners seeking a new heater, for example, are not willing to pay five times the money for a solar system when electric heaters are so much cheaper. In the long run, however, solar energy is much more efficient than electricity. Over time, once initial costs are paid, going solar saves more money and is more energy efficient.
