I want to use solar energy at home.

Consider using solar lighting which can be cost effective introduction to solar power. Kits are available with solar panel, regulator, lights, battery, switches and cable. Other DC devices can be run from the battery.
I have used solar panels to maintain charge in batteries for standby generators.
Solar power can be connected to a grid feed inverter to save on power bills or earn money.
Consider what free electricity from the sun for 30 years is worth.

I want to make residential wind power for my home.

I live in a built up area so I cannot have one of those massive things spinning around in my backyard.

I want to make one of those smaller windmills I always see on roof tops? Anybody have some instructions for me?

I mean, how does solar power create electricity and heating? This is for a grade, so I’d appreciate it if you were positive. Please record the websitre or book you used. THANKS!

I may consider purchasing solar panels for my house, but I would like some answers or ideas from Yahoo! Contributors.

How much would one approximately pay for solar panels for a house?

Hi!
I live in Australia and I’m part of the “alternative” community. I have spent many years travelling around the place and in my travels I’ve visited a lot of homes which are completely reliant on solar power for all their needs. I have lived in a couple of rental houses in remote communities which have foregone the outrageous expense of having the infrastructure built to connect to the grid in favour of the (approximately) $AUD4 000 to get a full solar set-up installed. It works. without any maintenance or worries at all.

I want to make a wind power generator so that I can put it on the roof of my home.

Has anybody done this? They seem to be fairly popular now

can solar power panels installed at home provide enough electricity to power house hold appliainces and heat water.

We are thinking about purchasing solar panels, but are concerned that because of our weather in the upper midwest, they won’t heat the water enough. How many degree rise can we expect?

Where can I locate information about all types of solar energy for my home.

Whats more efficient in terms of power generation and maintenance, a wind turbine or a windbelt?
