In the end, this is what this is all about- creating your own renewable energy resources. You can live off the grid, sell power back to the utility company, reduce your carbon footprint, and save a ton of money on power bills. But how does it actually work?
Your Choices
A set of choices lies ahead when deciding on how to begin building green power. They boil down to these:
- What kind of generator do you want to build?
- Will one kind of power source do the job?
- How big does the system need to be?
- Will it be grid-tied or not?
- DIY or professional installation?
- Will you buy your generator or build it?
I will be trying to cover these topics progressively as I build the site more fully. My encouraging words are that these are relatively easy questions to answer and I hope to help you answer all of them. Once you plan and consider these, then you will be prepared to get installing a system.
