We live in a rural Texas town. We are upset about the cost of electricity and we were wondering what the cost would be to change from Electricity to solar power or geothermal energy to use in our home? I am also wondering what is the cheapest way to do this as we don’t have any extra money at all? Are there pricing plans available?

Is it using photovoltaic cells, or mirros and a turbine or what? I’d be interested in a web site that compares all the options by efficiency, cost, reliability in cloudy weather, and stuff like that.

What about inverters?

Volts 12
Capacity @ 20-hr rate 120
Capacity @ 100-hr rate 145

How does this translate into running a 1000 watt appliance and how long you can run it with this battery.

Thanks!
