How should I go about converting my electric home to solar power? Or given the cost is it just not feasible?

I have a 1750 square foot tudor cottage built in 1928 located in Fort Worth, Texas.

I am interested in wind power and its practicality in my area.?

I would like to find out cost vs. output, average wind speeds and generally how cost relates to the use of wind for private and comercial use. Any input would be appreciated.

Why are Americans brainwashed into thinking solar power and any alternative to oil is a bad, bad thing?

I read things like (concerning Solar power), huge cost,, doesn’t work when sun not shining, need batteries (complicated set up) Gee – did the oil companies tell you that? Hooey – I don’t believe any of it. If the America people demand a product is becomes cheaper and easy to install, etc. Aka: Free Market

I want to build a machin that can produce energy/power,w/no power/energy intake.I need funding,who can help?

I have an idea on how to build a machine that uses a power supply that is unlimited,and free,and absolutely nonpoluting. This machine will use materials that are readily available,but cost money I do not have. I know it can be done,and the only thing I have is the knowledge.I need someone willing to work with me,who has the resourses,or the ability to get them.My idea is so simple, so unbelevable,I can not understand how it has not been done yet.Then again it most likely has,but not allowed by the govmnt.They could not make money. Coal and oil power would all but dissapear. They said men would never fly,go to the moon,or live with a mechanical heart. This will work. Does anyone know how to get help ?

Anyone know where I could access solar panel and wind generator for small home from reliable supplier? Thanks?

Try to help small village home with their drought, electricity, farming, small industry, pump and water problems. They got plenty of wind and sunshine but rather dispense with fuel operational cost. Perhaps wind generator and solar panel generator could be the solutions. Besides being a good standby reliable no cost operation it also help prevent greehouse emission. Looking for a reliable products and supplier both for sosial and commercial purpose. Appreciate any website you could introduce me to. Thank you.

Can I buy solar silicon cells only and assemble my own solar panel made of insulated materials like plywood?

Photovoltaic electricity is becoming one of the best alternarive energy source nowadays but still a little expensive. As ordinary electrice home user and solar power beginner, I am conscious of cost effectiveness. I understand silicon is standard material of solar cell which is just can not be manufactured at home so you must buy it, but can i make my own solar panel made of any insulated materials such as plywood or painted plain G.I. sheets with welded metal frame? Can I used 12v car battery and AVR as charge controller and a low cost bridge rectifier as inverter?

Which is more cost effective, Solar or Wind power for the home?

What would be a good price for either?
