Ideally, we all would have a Photovoltaic Array to call our own. No power lines to our home and no monthly utility bill. But for the vast majority of us, this is not the case. It's not even practical in most cases. It would be nice, but a few modifications in one's lifestyle would have to be made. Most use of power would be made during the day when the juice from the solar cells would be available. With the passage of the government stimulus package, there is a 30% subsidy for any purchase of solar power. Plus, there may be more incentives from you local power company. Here, is a good introduction to the subject.
It's a bit expensive though. Ideally an investment of $5000 to $50,000 in such a noble subject as this seems a given. But, that is based on the ideal rather then reality. I myself am a renter at this time and I am preparing to buy property in the next year. Will I have enough to add any sort of photovolt let alone a photovoltaic array? Maybe with a increased effort of frugality.
