Green energy source

A solar panel is a unique decorative item in The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff. Two forms of solar panel are introduced in the pack. The first is a 1x1 panel, costing §600, that must be placed either on a floor tile or on a roof. The second is a §1200, 1x2 panel, that can be placed on the ground. Both items are found in the 'Miscellaneous' portion of the Decorations section in Buy Mode.

Solar panels are a form of, and (along with the windmill) fulfill the minor "buy green energy source" want. Households with solar panels receive a financial credit and, with enough sources of green energy, can generate enough of a credit to offset the amount that would be charged in bills; if this occurs, the bills will not be delivered and a notification will give the amount of credit left over.
