How to go solar on a budget

Solar energy has experienced immense growth and massive adoption, with the industry growth expected to quadruple by 2030. Solar energy has been getting cheaper too.

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, the cost of Solar PV globally dropped by 82% between 2010-2019.

Even though it is getting cheaper, the upfront cost attribute of solar systems still makes affordability an issue. Well, It is possible to go solar if you are on a budget. Do not be held back by the upfront cost.
