Ron, I am talking in general across the USA. I can understand the problem with solar panels for you, but in many cases they work all year. The wind generator puts out an amp per knot of wind after 5 knots. That unit is $995.00, and works up to 35 knots of wind generating 35 amps.
There was a man on the news the other night. He installed $20,000 dollars in solar panels, and is now selling electrcity back to the grid. Plus he no longer gets an electric bill. My point being that every little bit helps. Especially if the house is built around a system like this, such as my boat was built around it's system......it's RV living on the water
