solar energy is developed all the time and it's a great chance to save money, but it depends what are your needs. the problem with solar system is the high fixed cost, you will pay a lot now but save more money in the future. if all you need is  electricity at your house, I recommend you to wait till it will be cheaper. but if you have a factory or something like that, you may consider that option.

Hi Yedazen

As for today-technology's-level, the cost of every watt is too hige for use in usual everyday needs.

For further reading I suggest the following:

It will cost you money in the short run, but in the long run you'll make it back and then the energy will be free.  I am personally involved some solar car projects.  There is a lot of hope to make them an efficient source fuel.

Solar energy will save you money--and probably lots of it over time, especially as electricity prices continue to rise.

Here's an example. Solar powered fans are very popular right now, especially solar powered attic fans. Initially they do cost more than electric fans, but they're very easy to install, since you don't have to worry about electrical outlets or wiring.

Once a solar powered fan is installed in your roof or gables, it runs for free. And it runs strongest when you need it the most--when the sun is heating your house up.

So now your air conditioners don't have to work as hard, which lowers your electric bills. And having solar powered fans will add to the value of your house.

So solar powered fans can save you money in three ways. 1) they work for free 2) they lower your electric bills and 3) they add value to your house.

To read more about the different kinds of solar fans and where you can buy them online, check out Solar Powered Fans.
