$1000 Solar House

April 15th, 2009 · No Comments · solar cost

The point Mike Toll makes here is that solar panels don’t need to be expensive. If you start small, you can have a chance to test out solar power.Find out if it’s something that you want to go further with.
A smaller investment in a system will give you a chance to get your feet wet without shelling out big bucks.

You’ll also have a chance to meet solar panel suppliers, see how they work, and get an idea of cost, and what it really means for your home energy.  And if you want to get more serious with solar later, you can buy a system that can be extended.

This geothermal heat can be tapped for heating in winter, cooling in summer. This system is like a giant earth powered airconditioning system for your house.

This power is tapped by running water filled pipes through this 72 degree earth zone. The Energy Department of Florida thinks that geothermal Solar can cut power bills by 50% to 80%.

Even though the price with the newest solar technology has now fallen to under $1 per watt, that price will almost certainly continue to drop.
