It would seem logical that using energy from coasting downhill to recharge the batteries along with solar panels and some sort of wind recharging device could be manufactured for a really cool bike. Just a thought. Love to hear what you think!
As far as the solar element, they are now manufacturing "solar panel sheets" that are extremely light, almost like a saren wrap that would cut down on weight.

What are the drawbacks to using wind turbines or solar panels for providing all power to a home?

A. The wind and sun are not constant, so there would be times when no electricity would be generated.
B. The wind and sun are constant, so there would be plenty of electricity for the home.
C. Wind and solar power are inefficient and too expensive to use and maintain.
D. Wind and solar power are efficient, but they are not able to produce enough electricity for a single home.

I was wondering what permit (if any ) would I need if I have solar panels and generate power that goes back into the grid.

Also a friend and I were wondering what permit's do power company's need for say wind generation or solar panels. Like if we had a new generator design then what would we need to start powering the grid
It has no pollutants and is not nuclear, lol

If there was an accident resulting in deaths at a factory manufacturing solar panels or wind technology, do you think Fox News and Rush Limbaugh would cover it differently than tragic accidents involving coal mining or the petroleum industry?
SEAN: Having worked in solar panel manufacturing for quite a while now, I can tell there are plenty of hazards. Exposure to poison gases and chemicals, electric shock, fire, lasers, robotics, annealed glass to name a few.

JACKASSHOLE: Have you ever heard of windmills? They're still in use today.

I own five acres of land in a very sunny part of Colorado. The subdivision in which I have the land has no active HOA and there are no covenants that prevent me from putting up as many solar panels and windmills as I can handle. How would I go about selling land for solar or wind power or even getting it going and just getting a check every month?

I'm trying to find information on solar panels or wind turbines that would be able to power a whole neighborhood, along with how much it would cost.

What will the environmentalist have to complain about if we switch to alternative energy sources? Will they start to "Tax" the wind and sun?

Will they come up with new theories saying wind turbines and solar panels are hogging too much natural resources, which is causing global warming, lol??

What next? They already complain about the turbines killing birds?

Hi I would like to work on building science like install panel solars,wind and you know building science also I want to star a business sell products of renewable energy like solar panels,wind,hydro,etc.

So which career can fit in those jobs? thanks

other than solar panels and turbines, what are other energy sources? what are the pros and cons to it? THANKS AND 10 POINTS FOR BEST ANSWER I SWEAR
also, what are the pros and cons to turbines?

im trying to get my parents to get solar panels. i was wondering if anyone new what kind of things you can get them to power and if you had any other good sources of renewable energy to use at home?

ok, so I'm preparing a speech on renewable energy. Primarily solar energy. . . . can anyone give me some facts and figures to incorporate, perhaps some angles I havn't thought of yet? I plan on appealing to the emotional side of saving the environment and the logical side of saving money on your monthly energy bill (it's to be a persuasive speech) . . . so perhaps the efficiency rating of solar panels, or that average energy produced by wind? or even better if someone has some figures on the california rebates given for solar panel installation. Thanks for the assistance

I live on a farm in NW Indiana. I want lower my energy bill and put up solar panels or windmills. Does Indiana have a program to help walk me through this, and where do I go to get the information?

I live in New hampshire and thinking about solar and wind power for my house... I know it is costly. I just want to get an idea of what systems other New Englanders have used....

And what they think of their setups.

Also... Who you got to install solar panels?
or Wind power

Just trying to talk to like minded people

Scot Lulek

we would like to buy solar panels and/or wind turbines for renewable energy, but so far all sellers i've found are from the u.s. does anyone know where in the philippines we could buy them? or maybe someplace nearer, like in southeast asia?
