Is the US involved in Space Solar Power Systems?

We Answered:

Mm... Is that what you want? http://l14.info/solar-powered-system

Tina Said:

experience with neighbors combining resources for solar power systems?

We Answered:

This is exactly how Germany has become the world's leading nation in distributed renewable energy. The German Government passed laws obliging utility companies to pay private individuals and groups for energy that they generate and feed into the national grid. These payments are called feed-in tariffs and they enable homeowners to get a reasonable payback on their investments in distributed renewable energy.

The real issue is how much you would be paid for the electricity you generate in Florida. Large-scale solar PV panels would be required to generate several kilowatt-hours per day. They cost $5 - $10 per peak watt (Wp) and an installation of the scale you need will cost your neighbourhood association many thousands of dollars.

I don't know the laws about feed-In tariffs in Florida so I can't tell you how to meet local requirements. I suspect the low price of electricity in the US (relative to Germany) will make it an uneconomic proposition for you at the moment. If this is the case, I suggest you re-evaluate the costs and benefits in a few years, when the price of electricity really hurts.

What is take on solar power systems?

We Answered:

You have to be more specific. PV panels or solar heating panels...
The quality is good for the newest line of PV panels. Many rural traffic indicating devices use them for power.
If you want to heat the house ( where most of the power goes ), stick with a known brand that stands behind the workmanship. Some vendors do not.

Martha Said:

Can anyone tell me straight out how to make those $200 solar power systems without buying one of those DVDs?

We Answered:

I wish I knew the answer for you, but I am now interested too in this $200 or less system. I have been looking into Bike Powered Generators and have been collecting what is needed and husband said he can build it for me. In the mean time I'm gona start looking for the PV panels that are needed for the polar system. The rest of what is needed from what the www.solarpowertoday.com site said I can get at any electrocics store. I hope someone answeres your question that truely knows, it would help a lot of us out. Thanks for the question
