We just had Solar Panels installed today. They didn't cost anything to have installed. My 2 nieces have them and they said they have saved money on their gas and electric bills. Does anyone on here have them?

I don't know why they were free, but they were and my niece got $ 1000 for recommending us.

It's probably part of an energy savings program in your area (?)

Yes, we have had them since 2011. They are great and have saved us much money over the years. We did not go through any
energy program, though. We bought them ourselves and had a solar company install them.

@Sassycakes... your phraseology..may be right...
"didn't cost anything to be installed"...
But..it would be hard to believe..they ARE FREE.
(Entirely without cost?)
That seems too good to be true.

We had solar panels and windmills when we purchased our house as well as a generator. It was completely off grid.

Plenty of people have them here in the UK. Our farming friends recently had them installed in the belief that they're going to pay for themselves in 4 or 5 years - and their house is going to increase in value. I fear that they are being over optimistic.
The N of Scotland is not exactly the sunniest place and installing the panels, inverter etc.. still costs quite a bit. Most figures suggest a payback time of 10 years or more and simply having solar panels is only a minor factor in determining the value of a house.
There were schemes in the UK where panels would be installed free, but they remained the property of the installer and the homeowner only had a small saving. The owners of the panels were effectively renting the roof.

This is completely random, and no I havenāt been drinking. 
In fact,I just got up and will blame my mistake on the fact that Iāve barely woken up and had only a sip of coffee so far.
I read the title of this thread as āInformation on solar p***sā.
I know!
My befuddled mind tried to comprehend the ramifications and workability of such a body part being solar! It was a confusing few seconds
