Rogers emphasizes that, “…Within five to seven years people can save enough money on electric bills to match the cost of a Blue Ion system.” Because the solar panels can last up to 20 years, they will save nearly double the cost compared to expanding energy from the power grid. In addition, these savvy photovoltaic cells use Sony lithium phosphate batteries allow for a reputable electrical density and demand no cool down time. Unlike most photovoltaic systems used for residential use, which use net metering, or the ability to ambidextrously alternate between the solar panel’s energy supply and the local grid, Roger’s solar array was sufficient to continuously supply and store enough power for the entire house. Solar arrays prove, in the long run, that they can not only compensate for their titanic cost, but also save thousands of…
Biello, David (2014) author of Solar Wars demonstrates a superior logos statement compared to Seligsoh’s.

The Coxes bought their panels outright, after doing the math that proved that the system -- with a life of 20 years or more -- would pay for the $12,000 cost in roughly six years, through savings on their electricity bill and tax breaks. ”(Para 1).…

Here in Oregon, my home State which is known for constant rain, the electricity comes from a wide variety of resources such as coal and petroleum to nuclear energy.…
