Wind Power

No moving parts, can be stored and as an alternative energy, and it could be called free energy. This type of energy is a renewable energy and great when it can lower your electric bills!
As a green power source for alternative energy there are no towers to deal with, no spinning blades to worry about, and maintenance is minimal and can be even lessened by the type of battery storage used and the size inverter used. The inverter is used to change the generated DC voltage to AC power that runs the lights, tv, and everything we use in our homes.
As a daily source of power, the solar power panel is place on the south exposure. The home solar panels can be placed on roofs, walls or on stands. Solar power panels have no moving parts and solar power systems are always improving as the technology develops. This renewable energy will be here long after all the oil has been used up.
When used as a backup source for our homes solar power is a viable source. With no power how can gas get pumped for your generator at the store? Any alternative energy has some limitations but is it better to have lights and the refrigerator still running?
Different parts of the country have different amounts of peak sun hours available and those are used to calculate the number of panels for total independence. But lower electric bills, free energy and knowing that you have a renewable energy is always a benefit. As with all home projects there are always startup costs but just ask the government for a handout, everyone else gets one!
