I paid nearly $800 for each of my 80 watt panels before i found out how to build my own for a fraction of the cost. WInd generators are actually even easier to build than solar panels! I really would look into a home build before you spend an awful lot of money.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.squidoo.com/how-build-solar-panel The prices can be vey high.

You can build a solar unit for under $200 and a wind mill for about $100. The more you build and install, the less dependent with the Utility companies you'll be. It will pay for itself in time and is 100% safe for our environment.

Wind turbines generally need to be located at least 15 ft. higher than any trees or rooftops in the general area (higher than that is even better). The tower must also be located so that if it falls over it can not hit your own home or cross a neighbors property line. You also need to be located where there is sufficient wind available to justify the installation of the equipment. Solar panels on the roof must be allowed by your home owners association and local building codes plus if you place them on your roof it must be designed to withstand the additional weight. After all of this if you are still in the game you need to find a local system installer to provide you estimates. Most home will find a solar hot water system to have the quickest pay-back time frame. They will cost you roughly $2000 to $6000. Have a look at this web site to find estimates of cost and pay-back time frames for your zip code. http://www.chooserenewables.com/<br><b>References : </b><br>I have a solar heating system on my home.
