i don’t know much about it. but someone had told me that buying solar panels won’t (or will take a while for it to) pay for itself (cost vs savings). they said that wind energy would be better (windmill, etc etc). but whatever you decide on, make sure you do a complete research …
In order to figure out how much load your house is going to need, you’ll need to add up all the projected electrical use that your future home will consume. You’ll need to add up things like the fridge, washer, dryer, dishwasher, water heater (could be solar), TV, computer(s), all other misc electronic stuff will really suck up the power. Don’t forget about the lights-think LED or compact flourescent. Also-think about adding more insulation than that which is required by your local building codes. A high-effeciency HVAC system will also help curb the electrical usage.
