I'm not sure how well solar panels would work here in the Pacific Northwest, but I have to admit that the idea of converting some of that sweet, sweet, sunshine into electricity to power my house is cool.

The other problems with getting solar panels installed: cost and installation time. The folks at Akeena Solar have come up with their new Andalay system that requires less installation time, translating into a lower overall cost. And the panels look really nice to boot.
