Have you ever considered living "Off The Grid" having your own ability to supply energy to your home or cabin. The possibility of living off the grid is open to anyone.
If you think you will have to give up all your luxuries, this really is not true. You would have to scale your system to the amount of appliances and such that you want to operate.
The use of renewable energy has become more efficient due to the higher demand and better technology available. The process of using renewable energy is simple, you need sun, wind or water which will give you the power to generate your electricity.
You can then convert this energy with an inverter into usable electricity for the home. Any excess electricity produced is stored in rechargeable batteries for future use.
Except for maintenance of your batteries, these systems are pretty much automated. Making sure you do exceed your supply and demand should be your only other task. If you have sized your system to meet your needs, you should have a very sufficient source of energy.
The feeling of independence from the grid is great, you are on your own with your own energy source and you are doing your part to help the environment and the effects of global warming.
Not to mention saving on your energy bill. When you first get set up you will have that initial cost for equipment and labor for installation, but it will pay for itself in time and you will have the freedom you want.
