A How To Solar or Wind Power Video
Friday, November 30th, 2007This is part 1 in a 2 part Solar Power video series for those of you considering a How to project. Note, I would not recommend following these videos for instructions as I can not verify the expertise of the people that have created the video.
I would suggest that they could be used for inspiration and as part of general research before a person considers tackling a how to job by themselves. Whenever you work with electricity directly, I recommend consulting an electrician for your own safety.

One of the next things I am hoping to research and cover, will be trying to identify the right technology or mix of technologies for a particular area. For example, I live on a lake in North Carolina. We do not get much wind at all, but the lake and sun are very powerful near our home. When I used to live by the ocean, we always received a great deal of wind by the ocean.
So for example, if I lived on the Outer Banks, wind might be a more substantive component of an alternative energy plan for my home than it is living inland by a lake.
