I just started looking into home versions of wind and solar energy. I've seen systems costing upwards of ten grand and do it yourself versions claiming to cost under 200 bucks. I've seen websites claiming these systems are godsends and others claiming you'll never recoup the initial costs in electric savings.
I'm obviously looking for the most cost efficient version that will allow me to recoup my costs as quickly as possible and make it into a money saver down the road. I plan on being in my home for at least another 5 years, quite possibly longer than that.
So does anyone here have any knowledge or experience home sized wind or solar systems? Any good online resources to help point me in the right direction? Or is this technology not yet economically viable for folks like me who are looking to net some long term savings?
