Where can I find supplies for alternate energy sources?
I designed and installed my own grid-tied solar system on my house, which was built in 1973. I have a degree in engineering though and would not recommend such a project unless you have similar training. Even so I used a licensed electrician to do the final wiring for me. Therefore you should be looking for a reputable solar installer. I installed my system about 4 years ago and to date have generated about 22.5 megawatt hours of electricity, which has saved about 19 tones of CO2 emissions. My system saves my about $1200 per year on my electrical bill and generates about 75% of my electrical needs. I have included a very good website that can both help you estimate the costs of a solar installation and can help you find an installer if you decide to go forward with your project. I also inclued the site where I bought my solar panels and inverter (the third link below). I can give you a bit of background about solar systems to help you get an idea of what to expect.
