Home Solar Panel Maintenance

is using solar panels or wind turbines save money?
well, i’m just thinking of using these things in the future if i already have my own house. with the constant rising of prices of everything, can i really save money if i use these type of technologies for basic home purposes and not those huge invested bussiness purposes?
is the maintenance and establishing one ok or will i waste more money than paying electric bills?
i just want to exploit the geographical climates of my home country (sunny and scorching hot philippines) and windy daly city =p
i’m an entry level nurse earning $40 per hour so i think $10k-20k is possible for me to earn it. i know it can’t accomodate 100% of my electric consumption but i hope it can cut some amount on my bills. let’s say i will just use it for television, electric fans or airconditioner sometimes, pc, a game console and lights in my home. just these basic things……XD
cutting the consumption on my electric bills means for a long term one. =p
I have explored the idea of using solar panels and have concluded that within ten years it would pay for itself. Not really a bad return considering that you never have to pay another electric bill again. Of course, you would have to decide if you wanted to get completely off the grid or stay on the grid. By staying on you would actually be giving energy back to the power company. I don’t think I would want to do that. So If I do it, I want off. However, at first you could do it a little at a time. Start off with 5 or 6 panels and have it run just a few things. Test the waters so to speak. If it performs well then keep adding panels as you go. My brother-in-law is an electrician and he says it is nothing to hook into the circuit breaker and isolate a particular appliance or ac unit or even hot water heater. So the answer to your questions I believe is “Yes”
Use Solar Panels for Elecricity in Your Home!
