I think the key to the whole solar and wind options is the battery banks. Sure if you wanted to build enough panels to power your house without a battery system it’s going to cost plenty. You combine solar for day, wind for day and night, make some changes in your power usage you could get off pretty cheap compared to the commercial systems. Hell the only things that use a lot of power in my house are the Frig and TV. I’ve gone all CFL and LED in my house for lighting and rarely use my furnace or AC and there are other ways to heat and cool your house if you are creative. Solar water heaters can be used for more than just heating your water.

Well I don’t know about buying into someones plans when you can find many good DIY plans all over the internet. I do know that you can build some really nice aluminum frame solar panels for under $175 that I guarantee will last 30 years with minimum maintenance and little if any difficulty. Also it is somewhat expensive to build a large enough battery bank to power your house but over time can be done. Also if your smart and have the room in your yard and add wind power also that can be DIY built for around $600 including pole and guy wires you can have a hybrid system with battery backup. Add your low cost $600 1000w grid tie inverter from off eBay and some unique addons to an electric water heater from Missouri Wind and power and I really think it snubs all you skeptics. I want to add that if and only if you really suck at wiring in those panels, burning down your house is the very least of your problems! All in all though my point is for less than $3000 you can build a hybrid system with about a 4 battery backup producing power to the inverter which would feed the grid 1000 watts for lets say 16 hours a day just to account for undesirable days; and that = 16kw x 30 days = 480kw a month x .11 cents a kw = $52.80 savings. That is half my bill for the summer month. Not bad for homebuilt systems and I can always keep adding to it.

If you can afford a house that is nice enough to bother with night time accent lighting you can probably afford to buya real system to light it up with. LED Flashlights running off a homemade solar panel? no…

So, if it can produce 75w – It should be able to run the landscape LED lights all night!! Comments? The newer 6-9-12 LED flashlights running of 4.5volts are quite bright and they cost about $2 @ Home Depot and half the price/$1 on ebay. I experimented, on a dark night, by placing a pair 10′ feet apart and 30′ away from the house (white) @ about 30 degree angle and they lit the house better than a full moon. My next step is to get about 10 of them and connect them in parallel and see how well they brighten up. I hope to use only one panel, charge up a car battery (for the night use) and hope to light up the house all night. Feasible?

Hey one panel 75 watts @ $200
20 panels = $4000
1 inverter @ $2500
= 225kw of power @ 5 Hrs of sunlight over 30 days
That’s 80% of a typical home. for $6500.
Not bad but no where near the ” I think it would $40,000 dollars”
