Hey Baggy I was hoping you would get in this thread because of your experience, what do you think of the link in the above post by Anta? I mean is it that easy to make your own solar and wind power without going with big commercial units?

Do your homework!

There is a ton of resource available for free on the net.
Two pay sources I can personally vouch for are
Home Power Magazine
http://www.homepower.com/store/index...ge=item&pid=14
Charlie's video is an inspiration and introduction

Do your homework!

Solar is not free and it is not a panacea. After studying it
and owning an old ailing system for 5 years I think the
Amish have the best line on solar power

Keep it small, keep it simple, and always have a backup.

Its easy to do, but the startup costs are high - especially if you want to go fully off-grid.

IMHO you dont go Solar to save money - you go Solar for independance.
