Great video. I’ve been looking for some non-commercial video on how a complete system is done. I live in Arizona so I desperately need to install one of these.

Hi, just ran across your blog and it’s great. Hey… do you have any articles on using a wind turbine to ‘go off grid’ ?

I’m researching it and it seems the utility companies are doing every thing they can to retard the idea of selling the power YOU generate back to the grid.

They seem to be enlisting the support of local officials to prevent licenses from being granted for power other than what they make money on… the switching apparatus that ties power YOU generate back into the grid is so costly and the local governments are at best not helping and at worst in kahoots with the utility company (probably via campaign contributions to county officials and delegates)

Got any articles on or info on or annectdotes of people getting ’static’ re: selling power back to the grid?

Your post here gives me ideas for selling the wind turbine I’m promoting… screw the grid, make your own power.

I’m pitching small wind turbines to trailer park owners in West Virginia so they can sell the power they generate to their tenants- all that money is now going out the door to the utility company

What bugged me so far is the cost on these panels and the installation. But I think I’ve found some information package that could help me save a lot of money on these panels and the installation (If your curious … CleanEnergyHouse.com ). Anybody has ever try to build it’s own and use it on their house? Please let me know, I’m very interested in the upfront cost and difficulty of building one. This guy pretends it can be built for less than 200$ and all the material can be found at the hardware store. Anybody would like to share experience? Thanks in advance

Hi, It was a great post.Solar panels are great for the environment - Obviously this is one of the main advantages of solar panels as they don't add to global warming. Solar power is clean and renewable. And it does not add to the cost and problems of storing dangerous radioactive waste. Solar power homes are environmentally friendly homes.
