Many technologies use solar energy. Some classifications of solar technology are active and passive
Active solar systems use electrical and mechanical components such as tracking mechanisms, pumps and fans to process sunlight into...
I am as green lov'n as the next guy but can a solar panel system pay for itself in <10 years in Boston area even if electric rates increase 3% per year?
No. Not enough sunlight to be practical or cost effective. Wind generator might work better there.
Active solar energy can power 40-80% of your home energy needs. Anything less than 40% is not cost effective. Besides home heating, active solar is awesome for air conditioning, detoxification of contaminated water and thermoelectric power...

Converting Your Home Into A Solar Home
When it comes to converting your home into a solar home, there are a few options, because not all homes have the same problems, the same requirements or the same potential sustainable power sources. Therefore, if you are going to try a total conversion or even get off the grid entirely, you will either have to do some do research or call in an expert to make a survey for you.
If you call in an expert, try to get an independent one, so that you can work out the costs of fulfilling your energy requirements yourself. You will have to pay for such a survey, of course, but you could carry out a survey yourself with a bit of work on your behalf. In order to produce a solar home, you may find the rest of this piece interesting.
Chile's Solar Energy Advantage: The Atacama Desert « Chileonaire
Last week in my series on clean energy in Chile, we reviewed Chile’s competitive advantage in wind energy . This week, we will continue to explore the various renewable energy sources available in Chile by examining solar energy. Solar energy is the most widely available energy on Earth. It is produced by the sun and is available in radiant heat and light forms. Currently, humans harness only an infantesimile amount of the total solar energy available. Technology to capture and use solar energy can be categorized as either active solar or passive solar. This broad characterization depends largely on the manner in which the technology captures, converts, and distributes the energy. When we discuss solar energy here, we are talking about active solar. An example of passive solar would be a terrarium.
