How do I make home made power?

We Answered:

Wind generators and solar panels can be expensive, and can take years before they pay for themselves. Often it uses so much CO2 to make a solar panel or wind generator that they can actually increase your carbon foot print, not reduce it. I've found that the best way to create home made power is from home made equipment, it's actually surprisingly straight forward and a fraction of the cost. I used this guide: http://tinyurl.com/ljyok7 to create a simple wind generator which has seen my energy costs drastically reduced.

how big of a Solar Power system do I need for a 1000 sq ft home?

We Answered:

is it a grid tie system? if so i would say that you need at least 2.5kw. this will allow you to recover your costs via net metering.
