Yesterday I mentioned how much wind we've had here in Maine and posted one of many web links to go to on how to make your own wind turbine and generate your own power.
IF wind turbines aren't the sort of thing that interests you, but you still want to make your own power, but without a gas-powered generator or wind turbine, how about making your own solar panels?
Much like web sites for wind turbines, there are a lot of "DIY" and "Make your own" sites for solar panels. The life span for sloar panels is between 25 years and 35 years with a final production rating of 75%
Why not look at this one for starters:
