Doing research on solar panels and wind generators. Any helpful websites?

Want to know specifically how to convert the energy for normal household use. Thanks!

Here is a link about wind power that one of the people on one of my other forums sent:

For solar power, a google search will turn up a lot.

Good luck!

Is there a way to install solar panels for one appliance in my home rather than the whole house?

After getting estimates from several local contractors, I can’t justify the cost of taking the entire house solar – especially since we’re considering moving in a few years and solar power would price the house out of the market for its size.

In the meantime, though, is there a way to route solar power to one high-use appliance – say our PC or our TV – without fully rewiring the house? This would incur some savings and a lower cost, and we might be able to see some return on investment when we sell the house.

Not very practical if you ask me. the way the solar system works in a nutshell. Panels turn sunlight into DC electricity, think the battery in your car. then an inverter is installed, which turns the

Should we put solar panels on hybrid electric cars so that they will charge when in a sunny parking lot, etc.?

I just thought of the idea and it sounds pretty cool to me.

Any electric or plug-in hybrid car can be solar powered.
eg http://www.green-car-guide.com/features/…
Tesla Motors can arrange installation of solar panels on an owners home or owners can purchase electricity that has been created by the company’s large scale solar farm partners. This pollution-free electricity is fed into the grid and directly offsets the electricity used to charge the car.

it is not practical to put on the car because of the extra weight & wind resistance, the area required, and little issues like driving through tunnels in cities like Boston where there is little light at street level.

The problem with plug-in hybrids is that the patents for NiMH batteries are

Many people find the prospect of living a self-sufficient lifestyle attractive. However, there is the common misconception that purchasing solar panels is an expensive business.

Of course, if you choose to purchase a brand new panel from a large organization, you can expect to pay a pretty hefty sum. But the good news is that there is an alternative method of equipping your home with its own power system.
