Don't forget to tell your Dad to get a newer electric meter. If he has surplus power, which he may have at certain periods of the day, he will get credits from the great power grid.

You can get both solar and wind kits from the big box home improvement shops as well as Northern Tool or Tractor Supply online or from their stores. Its the battery configuration that gives you the most bang for the buck when powering LEDs, radio or well pumps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-68178319623183357352010-03-19T05:03:29.567-07:002010-03-19T05:03:29.567-07:00At $0.10/kilowatt-hour buying your power off the g...At $0.10/kilowatt-hour buying your power off the grid, you'd pay for the turbine in about 2 years with if you have a 28 MPH wind continuously...<br /><br />http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%24600%2F%28400W*%240.1%2F%28KW*hour%29%29Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
