Does solar energy affect the cost of electricity for others?

Fossil fuels will skyrocket in price no matter what, because they are becoming scarce and are non-renewable.

Using renewable sources like solar energy are the only way to keep our power affordable in the future, as well as keeping the lights turned on when old fossil fuel energy starts to disappear completely - so it's not a question of if to move to renewables, but when.

By joining the solar revolution early on, not only are you cutting your potential future energy bills, but you can also feed your excess energy back to the grid, helping everyone to benefit from renewable energy.
