Solar and Wind power systems -update
No CommentsHi,
There is now more reason than before to build our own solar and wind power systems. In the UK the recent budget indicated the Governments plans to invest further in alternative sources of energy such as wind power in the form of large wind farms. Unfortunately this means that the cost of energy will have to go up to pay for it. That means higher electricity bills.
The good news is that you can build your own homemade solar power system for $200 and a wind power system for just $100 and generate your own electricity. There is also encouragement to develop enough capacity to sell the excess back to your energy company. In the UK you can sign up to a buy back scheme with an energy supplier. There are two types of tarrif, the first one is that you get paid for the excess electricity you export back to the grid this is called the export tarrif. The second tarrif is callecd a general tarrif and means that you are paid for all the the electricity your system has generated even the electricity you use in your own home. Some fixed tarrifs also exist and these are based on the capacity and type of system you have installed.
