How can I set my house up for total solar power?
zaynpevy asked:
I am looking to find out how to go about setting my house up for total solar power? I live in the South so sun isn't a big problem for us. I'd really rather be using a sustainable product than keep letting the electric company keep charging me for THEIR gas usage. Exspecially when I see their trucks running all over town to run their daily errands instead of working.

You really cant, it would take large ammounts of space and thousands of dollars in solar panels to even come close to a fraction of what a house uses. also solar panels create DC power which would have to be converted to AC in a dynamo or inverter… and there is always losses do resistance etc.
Also solar panels don't last forever, they have to be replaced every few years depending on the quality so in the end it's cheaper to stay with your local utility provider….no I don't work for one…
