Me and my husband is plotting to build a new home in Austin TX and we wanted to be 100 free from electric bill using the sun energy. Anyone who have knowledge about PV, Solar Panel please I need your help.
Project Plot: 2500 sqm floor plot
5 bedrooms
What type of PV or Solar Panel Cell we need?
How much do you reckon it will cost?
Do you know an architect or builder who provide custom plot
Do you know somebody from Austin is using Solar Panel
Do you know local manufacturer that we can friend with?

In order to figure out how much “load” your house is going to need, you’ll need to add up all the projected electrical use that your future home will consume. You’ll need to add up things like the fridge, washer, dryer, dishwasher, water heater (could be solar), TV, computer(s), all other misc electronic stuff will really suck up the power. Don’t forget about the lights-reckon LED or compact flourescent. Also-reckon about adding more insulation than that which is required by your local building codes. A high-effeciency HVAC system will also help curb the electrical usage.

i don’t know much about it. but someone had told me that buying solar panels won’t (or will take a while for it to) pay for itself (cost vs savings). they said that wind energy would be surpass (windmill, etc etc). but whatever you choose on, make sure you do a complete research …
