Looking for some information about solar power.

Our lot size is 50x150 feet so we have ample space for something like this. I think a home kit would be allowed here, and I've seen several professional installations at residential homes over the years including solar water heaters on roof tops. I don't see why I wouldn't be allowed to build my own small unit, wouldn't need a full size panel that's for sure. I'll check out your link, thanks for providing it.

kris182_2000, I believe every country have their own legislation as far as having energy consumption is concern and as such manufacturing as well. As you can see the technology is really limited to certain appliances like the water heaters of today and I think this is understandable especially in temperate countries and regions where winters can be extreme. However, I think there would be limitations from your legislators especially when you are installing this to produce electrical power to your house which concerns like safety, maintenance and possible abuse. I am sure the electrical company in your country will be gravely concern. I think you will need to look into the cost of such installation which not only require care and maintenance in the long run but also since it is rare, I am quite sure the cost will be astronomical for a domestic consumption, which may not equate to your budget at the end of the day. Believe me, I am not trying to throw a wet towel to you but I have to say that this technology would be better if a few households could actually share the supply or for industries that have intensive use of electrical energy where such technology can help to conserve the national electrical energy supply which in turn will reduce the demand and ultimately the price per unit at the end of the day. Anyway, I really hope that you will be able to get the needed answers here. Have a nice day.
