Reply #80: It's easy to do

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

We went solar over three years ago. We used the local "Harmony Farm Supply" for our materials. See: http://harmonyfarm.com/prostores/servlet/Search?category=Solar+Electricity
This page shows their roof with installed panels: http://harmonyfarm.com/prostores/servlet/Page?template=about
It's the third picture down. We went with the grid tie. We wanted the battery system and were going to have PV and Wind power, but the county demanded we have the wind generator on an 80 foot tower and get approval from all our neighbors. Wish we had now. When the power goes down, we are without too. It had a different inverter for the wind power and batteries.

Another source would be "Real Goods", they have a "Solar Living Source Book". Check out: http://www.gaiam.com/retail/SolarLiving?CMP=KNC-booyah&atlas=true&gcid=S18376x001&keyword=real%20goods

They have a place in Hopland Calif. and host a big workshop/Festival in the summer.

Good Luck, and Best Wishes, ADW
