Solar Panels in Ontario for your home

  Keeping an open mind leaves a few options for green energy.Here are two i've researched.

  Well here is an offer that's hard to overlook.
Getting paid by the Ontario government to supply Hydro One with solar power has only one
benefit I can see.You pay upfront costs for installation,get no free hydro for 7 years until your loan is paid off.
In the mean time you collect $5 o 6 thousand per year to pay back your loan.
Only then can you reap the wonderful benefits of the sun I presume.
Does that mean you get free hydro after the loan is paid off ?
Probably not,since the system will remain tied to the grid.But the cash should keep flowing your way,right ?
If you don't have alot of trees like i do,and are not over 70 years of age,payback should be viable.

Alternative Energy Cost

Since then, I’ve learned the second lesson of renewable energy: while the energy may be free, it still costs more than electricity from a utility company. This may not be obvious, so let me explain. The following are the approximate prices for the equipment we have now, materials only – installation is extra:

Solar array1 kW$6,000
Dual-axis tracker$6,250
Wind generator w/50 ft tower1 kW$3,700
Inverter/charger4 kW$3,000
Batteries (1 day reserve)$8,000
Total Cost$26,950

If you assume that we receive eight hours of sun and eight hours of wind per day (a generous assumption), we would produce 487 kW-hours of electric energy per month from renewable sources. This is almost half the 920 kW-hours per month that was used by the average American home in 2006.

Going off the grid sounds like a dream come true,but does the wind ever stop blowing or is sunset something new.
Please leave a comment on this wonderful green project.
