Well, I have a lot of electronics in my room (higher-end computer, modems, stereo, tv, consoles, dvd player, etc) and me and my parents came up with the idea of running my room off the grid. Basically, because electricity prices are going up and up, and my room obviously uses a lot of power. I'd estimate that I would need around 1200-1500w of power.
Ive been looking at two options - solar or wind. There is a perfect place to put a few panels outside my window, and since its not windy here very often, Im thinking solar would be a more cost-effective option. Does anyone have any sites showing how solar setups have been set up? How much do solar panels cost, roughly (in $CAD), and how many would I need?
