My Solar Power Set Up – Part 1 BASIC SYSTEM – DIY Cheap, Free Power.
-Ed. note: What I believe would make a big difference would be a DIY system that you could plug into the grid. While a small system like this would not “spin your meter backward”, it would give you the best of both worlds: an inexpensive DIY system that would at least slow down your electric bill, and the convenience of not having to rewire your whole house. Current regulations mandate that you have an electrician vet out your system, which means there’s a lot more research, phone calls to local authorities, etc. before you can just do a plug and play system.
