Plug-N-Play Solar & Wind Power

I've found that Facebook is a rotten place to use as a repository for information that you may want to reference later down the road, so it's back to the more reliable blogger for that task.

First up, an interesting plug-n-play solar and wind power system that you basically just plug into an existing power outlet at your home. Just connect the solar panel(s) and/or wind turbine to a converter and plug that into an exterior power outlet. The electricity generated is then integrated into your homes electrical grid. This is a great way to offset all the equipment in your home that continues to draw electricity even when it's turned off.

These are supposed to be hitting the market sometime in 2011 at a cost under $1000. I'd love to add something like this to my home, but I'm not sure how well it would perform with all the trees that surround the house.

Still, I'll have to keep an eye on this: http://www.clarianpower.com/solar.html
