….was for the GE Ecomagination Challenge which in turn reminded me of this company: Clarian Power.
If you’ve not heard of them take the time to look over their site. They are attempting to make solar and wind power (complete with backup system) available at a reasonable price to the average consumer. Instead of a single solar panel that you pay a fortune for that then requires either signifigant electrical know-how or a paid professional, they plan to offer to the public an easy to install “plug-n-play” solar panel and wind turbine setup that requires minimal extra know-how beyond basic tool handyness and ability to follow instructions. Still not CHEAP, but much more reasonable than the current standard setups currently on the market. They hope to have at least some product on the market by the end of this year.
