I would like to get solar power on our house. Tucson is almost as sunny as Phoenix! At this point, we have to focus on paying down our house though. We couldn’t justify cash flowing those kind of payments when we are upside down on our house as it is. (Bought at top of market; 4 foreclosures on our street; our house has gone down 30% in 2 years!)

Everyone is talking PV … how about Solar domestic hot water … you can install for under 4k … get a co-op together … willing to share my contacts for the common good … get rid of the DINOFUEL monster … once installed there is nothing better then the independance of self produced hot water

I definitely agree that solar power will take off, as well as wind power. I am not a homeowner yet, but when we do buy, solar power will be a part of our home. Perhaps it won’t be the whole house ($$$), but I am hoping we can modify gradually, and within our budget.

And on a slightly different note, this is now my new favorite site! I’m just catching up on the last few posts, and there is so much great information to take in!

I’m very interested in adding solar power to my home. It’s still very expensive though and I need to pay off debts as a first priority.
I currently have my power bill set up on budget so the power company averages our bill for the year. This is our 4th year in our home and each year the bil has decreased. This year it dropped from $70/mth to $63 - that’s $84 for the year! We got rid of an old energy-sucking fridge and all of our bulbs are CLFs.

I’m really interested in wind turbines. I live in Nova Scotia on the Atlantic Coast. We get a lot of wind, it’s certainly something we can harvest.

i’ve heard great things about this book. I also want to thank you for getting that site (www.findsolar.com) out there, I’d never heard of it either! It’s just too bad that people do not even know about incentives that exist for them to use!! i don’t really need this book because im still young and not a home-owner. hopefully solar will be more abundant and not a hidden option by the time i’m looking into electricity options…

by the way, thanks for getting our badge!!

I’ll be honest, I dont know that i could afford the installation of a solar power system. I try as much as I can now to limit my electrical usage and use as much natural light as possible.

I think its a great option for those who can really afford it but right now most everyone I know is in a financial pinch.

Great giveaway. I hope i’m the lucky winner
