[QUOTE="FrigidAdCorrector, post: 1587646"] They make smaller ones you can put on the roof of your house. It doesn't generate a ton of power, but it's probably more than enough to power your home. Plus it runs constantly unlike solar which means you're pumping power in the grid all night and making some $$. The problem is when it is time to get a new battery. Ever see one of the plants that melt down the batteries? Talk about a nasty place. Solar is not a bad alternative. But it's tough. Usually by the time you get your plan together and have them installed the panel is obsolete. My stepdad sells chemicals to the manufacturers and he said it's amazing how fast the customers have to keep up with changes. He had a customer that was selling them like crazy in January. By December of the same year they filed for bankruptcy because their panels were obsolete and they didn't develop a new one in time. It makes tech look slow. [/QUOTE]
