Getting solar panels on your rooftop can have a big impact on reducing carbon pollution and helping birds. But even if you’re a pro at things like recycling and saving energy, you may still have questions about solar power. Can it be affordable? Do the panels work when the sun isn’t shining? And what if you rent your home?
