Solar panels can easily and quite quickly be constructed yourself. In most areas, you do have a choice as to whether to connect or continue to connect with a utility company or to put in place your own source of electrical energy. Rather than being held in bondage to a utility company and take advantage of free sources of wind and the sun that so far are not being taxed yet, why not take advantage of the advancements that science has made utilizing the wind and the sun to create your own electrical power source.
The great news is that new technologies have been developed which now place the knowledge and the materials for building your own wind and solar devices for your own personal use to be easily and economically affordable. Homeowners around the globe can now declare he independence from their utility companies. Why not set yourself free from not only the electrical bill that comes in the mail every month, also remember that these bills have to be paid with after-tax dollars, a least in America. Consider for example, a 30% tax bracket would actually be equal to the equivalent of a $100 electricity bill paid with after-tax money would be equal to a savings of $130 from gross income. It becomes relevant and important to think this way because every dollar saved from an after-tax payment had to be generated with before tax dollars from your gross earnings paycheck.
Building your own alternative power system is not as challenging and scary as it once was. With the techniques, training and information that are available for the homeowner, very average homeowners can usually use readily available tools to build very satisfactory solar panels and windmills in their basement or workshop. Generally parts are easily available in most hardware stores or from the Internet and are quite affordable.
Be sure to purchase a quality resource guide that covers not only how to build solar panels or windmills, look for all-inclusive material that provides resource areas showing you where to make your purchases of the various parts necessary for building your projects.
As you begin to build your own sources of power, either from the sun or from the wind you may find a new income source developing as your neighbors want the same for their homes :>)

Wondered if anyone knew how to build a simple homemade wind generator to power our home? A homemade wind generator that is not too complicated would be good. Do you know how to build a wind generator? Please help us.Thanks

I just moved into a split level home in a suburb of Chicago. I was thinking of either installing solar panels or horizontal wind turbines on the roof of my porch. Any help in finding companies for this would be appreciated, I am more interested in wind then solar being that Chicago is pretty far north (little sun in the winter) and known for our wind.

The wind noise from the moon roof is irritating on the highway, particularly in the tilt up position. Seems that it doesn’t open much. The noise is a high pitched hum. With the moonroof rolled back the noise is lower pitched but just as irritating.

How to estimate the energy of wind turbine?
how do i estimate the annual energy output of a 5kw wind turbine in an area which has a average wind speed of 7.4m/s at 10m above ground level, and the rated wind speed of the turbine is 10m/s. there is no buildins around to interfear with the wind and the hub of turbine is 12m above ground level. and could you show me the formula for this sum.

Not including the green jobs the free market has already taken into account.
Wind energy costs 25% more than coal. In essence our energy productivity will go down by 25%.
Whenever has productivity going down created jobs?
Do not give me the foreign oil, the only time foreign oil is used in energy production is for peeker plants. Wind can not replace that.
As an engineer I like the idea of power and all kinds of power. Also as an engineer I can not see a more expensive means creating jobs.

I need to find out how much energy 1 average sized, (preferably british), nuclear power plant will produce comapred to wind farms and other renewable sources of energy. Or how many of each type of renewable energy station (e.g how many wind farms) will be needed to produce the power of one average nuclear plant. I need the answers by sunday night please! Thank you!

I am wanting to have a wind turbine/wind mill for my home to supplement or replace the grid electricity I use. I see that the winds come and go. So I need to store some amount of the electricity that my wind mill makes. What is the best and safest battery I can use? What is its cost? How much energy will it store? What recharge rate does it need? Thanks.

Looking for some advice to adding to a solar power system. I live in SW Mississippi. When the sun is not out, so to speak we do have wind 8mph to 25mph. Just looking to add economical addition to help charging abilities.
