Renewable Energy for the Home

Windmills

15 years ago

Is any one out there installing windmills instead of, or along side of solar panels to get off the grid? We live in AZ and there are days when we have allot of both sun and wind. I'd be interested to hear about your successes and your failures, if there are any. Any must-have books on the subject I should buy?
