Wind power requires consistant wind. Natural gas powered vehicles require conversion kits. Solar panels costs are for the rich.

Would solar panels be worth it? http://www.greendaze.org/do-you-have-an-off-grid-home-in-a-cloudy-rainy-climate-would-solar-panels-be-worth-it/ http://www.greendaze.org/do-you-have-an-off-grid-home-in-a-cloudy-rainy-climate-would-solar-panels-be-worth-it/#comments Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:36:19 +0000 admin http://www.greendaze.org/do-you-have-an-off-grid-home-in-a-cloudy-rainy-climate-would-solar-panels-be-worth-it/ I’ve been doing a lot of research on places to live when I finish school, and I really think Oregon is the perfect place for me. Me and my boyfriend want to build an off-the-grid house. The thing is, he says we can’t live in Oregon because it’s not sunny enough, and if we relied on solar panels it wouldn’t work out. Is there some other off-grid solution besides solar panels we could use as backup? I don’t know much about wind turbines and how much they would cost. Does anyone living in a rainy, cloudy climate make much use of solar panels? Or should I move to a state that has more days of sunshine (I’ve been considering Colorado)? Suggestions? Thanks.

solar panels
wind generators
passive ventilation
rainwater collection
super glass
geothermal heating pumps
solar heating
eaves
compact florescent bulbs

There are building codes that require all buildings to have bathrooms and fire exits. You can no longer have an outhouse and just one door. If buildings have to abide by those standards, then there is no reason why they shouldn’t abide by these in my book. What do you think?

But i am looking to find out what other options are available in addition to what i will already be doing to make money in this area?

Im especially interested in ways to sell back to the power grid.

I do know a decent amount about solar panels and wind, but are there any other ideas out there or really ingenius ways to add to this desire?

What better way to make money helping the earth!

if you’ve got any information or suggestions that cant be posted privately, feel free to contact me!

For waste collecting collect things such as batteries or anything else bad for the environment. ALSO, I live on a U.S. territory in the Pacific Ocean the is about 30 miles long.

We want to make the place more environmentally friendly (in the way it is run, not what we sell). Anyone got any ideas? We’ve looked at the obvious stuff, things like like using greener energy suppliers, recycling rainwater, installing wind turbines and solar panels, that sort of thing, but I need more good, clever, original ideas.

In the e-mail I need to have a plan already laid out. Does anyone know of any organizations that help schools get solar panels?
