i was thinking of the same thing on my way to the local reptile shop ,just think the nice sunny day put the idea in my head lol, as i will be building a new reptile/insect room in the garage soon i was thinking of this idea to go on the roof but i couldent find any price on that web site tho

[shaneo95]

It says 5,000 per kw

[shep1979]

oh yeh just found that ,there must be a cheeper way than that as that is a big out-lay to be paying

[shaneo95]

But it would probaly worth it over time compared to how much it would be in money

You can get them for cheaper if you shop around. I should be gettin these next year for my reptiles and general use.

[shaneo95]

Yeh but then you gotta fit em ureself how would you do it

[shep1979]

with a ladder and get on the roof

You can probably get them cheaper but, as with pretty much all solar-powered things, it takes a very long time before you recover your costs...

Long-term it would be worthwhile - I expect energy prices are going to rocket in the next decade or two, so you would really feel the benefit of them then.
