It is about time that the solar companies think in terms of “small and independent systems” that can be applied to harness electricity without spending thousands and thousands of dollars. It remind me how not so long ago IBM had these huge computers that only the biggest of the Enterprise could afford to buy, until apple computers came on board and designed computers for the people and at a low price that everybody could afford. This is the same model we need to go in the solar industry. Big is for the bog electric company, but… the small individual systems that are affordable by an average Joe, that does not need fancy installation is the way to go in conquering our energy crisis.

Just like the nano technology is applied here, we need nano technology for every roof on America, and only then we will not have to buy so much oil for the energy that we consume at the present time. The money that we would be saving by not buying foreign oil could be used on our domestic energy products and have much left over for other super projects.

Sounds like a great idea to attach the miniature A/C inverter to the solar panel. Simplicity at it’s finest. No more permission necessary or elaborate grid connection. Minimize cost, line them up in series to increase your return on investment! Now all I need is for them to pay for themselves in 1-2 years and I’m in.

I wonder what kind of storage needs would be required if one wanted to go completely off-grid and operate an electric vehicle. Just how much kW does the average home need on a daily/monthly/yearly basis? How does one measure it’s total need – just by the electric bills?
