Thankyou so much for your videos there great! I share your love for off the grid alternative energy. And have enjoyed all your videos. I'll be watching from here on out to see if any new videos pop up. I’m not sure if this will get to you, but if Dan Rojas is reading. Thankyou so much for your videos there great!

I wanted to try it but we live in a very wooded area. Lowes and home Depot both have people who will come out and give you an estimate.

The size of your house is less important that the amount of power you use. Look at your old electric bills to see how much that is. Then go to the first source and see how much a system that big costs. The source just sells the parts, so you need to know how to install and operate it, which is not easy. My guess is $25,000 or more for a "grid tied system" where you use solar power during sunny days and sell any extra power you may make then back to the power company, and at night you use power from the power company just like you do now. If you want to be disconnected from the power grid you will need large batteries which will probably double the cost. The company in the second source will just sell you the power without selling you the solar panels. They put their solar panels on your roof, but they own the panels, not you. And they agree to sell you the power at some rate per kWh, just like you power company does now, but you never pay for the panels themselves.

I install systems for 20K to 60K, although most of my customers rely on a 40 to 60% rebate in order to afford it. Be careful of being directed to CitizenRE, which promises free solar power (you rent the system for the cost of the electricity, they install it for free). It may likely be too good to be true. Despite many promises of installing solar by 2008 and changing the solar industry by vertical integration, they have yet to install a single module and, more importantly, yet to break ground on a single solar module assembly plant. They have yet to do anything, in fact, but make unfulfilled promises. Most guesses in this forum about hit the ballpark.

Please refer my blog for details on the same. It is a amazon kindle blog, so all you have to do is have a kindle reader for it. You don't have to spend your money for what you read in the first two weeks. There are many ways of saving energy but one particular article I did on Advance Power, one of the oldest and most competant retailers in this solar energy segment in the U.S. would be perhaps of great interest to you.
