Solar Power; not the next blockbuster

"I used to say, 'Things cost too much.' Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying, 'The problem isn't that things cost too much. The problem is that you can't afford it.' That's when I finally understood that the problem wasn't 'it' - the problem was 'me.’” Jim Rohn

Does Solar Energy have to be a blockbuster? I do not think that it does, what it needs to do is to work at a level consistent with the demands of the individual. Maybe in order to reduce our carbon footprint, reduce dependency on foreign oil, or simply reduce our utility bills we need smaller projects. Where are the people or companies who will come up with “solar kits” that are easy to install and have the ability to be added to?

A simple kit that would provide enough power supply all of the electric power for our homes when no one is home, thus freeing up energy for other uses. They already make solar powered attic fans so why not solar powered ceiling fans? What about a solar power kit that would charge an electric lawn mower?

The benefit of smaller solar electric systems is endless and since they would be cheaper than a total solar power system more people could afford them.
