Thanks for the input.

The video shows running in parrall 36 solar cells at .5 volts per. Thus one panel creates the 18 volts total per panel at ~ $200.

The building of one panel wasn't rocket science. Rivets, solder gun, tempered glass, caulk, channel alumium, etc. The building of the wind turbine was pvc mainly cutting to size, and the generator. Again, fairly simple.

I'll do somemore research as to parts expense. But if it costs me a $1000 to make the first set and add on later if it works plus the tax credits...I figure the $250 for the "how-to" is a risk worth taking.

I have a lil engineering background. The vids that I watched made sense.

The big issue is my time manufacturing the units. Then the cost of storage batteries (deep cells are not cheap) the inverters etc. But if I'm willing to spend my time making these things with the chance of cutting my utility bills and they are showing me step-by-step how to do it...$250 is a drop in the bucket.

Another issue is resale value. Again, it's an IF they work, but if they do...it will increase the value of my home. An other reason to risk $250 bucks.

I'll keep you updated as I go.
