Price competition is what we want. Solar panel's price have reduce enormously.
This is for Yachts, but houses would be little different I believe.
Many years ago I have paid $400+ for a 42 watt panel.
Today from a Whitworths catalog.
Solar 120 w is $250.
Wind generator's max 420 watts is $2195 will not charge till there is 5 knotts of wind. However will charge at night, if, I stress if there is wind over 5 knotts.
Now for comparison
4 Solar X 120 watts = 480 watts. 4X $250 = $1000. However, you need sunlight and space.
Solar, 480 watts for a $1000 compared to a noisy Wind generator at 420 watts for $2195.
Quite Solar has More max 480 Watts output than Noisy and dangerous spinning blades of a 420 watts Wind Turbine at less than half the investment.
LED light are a great money saver, and on yachts, battery power.
Some yachts have both wind and Solar.
I have Solar. LED lighting and Diesel generators.
Diesel works, night and day, wind or no wind, just have diesel fuel.
Coal, gas, Nuclear Power is the only way to guarantee constant and adequate amount of power for homes and business.
