25 watts over40 hours

27.
1 watt over1,000 hoursHow much can a solar panel produce?Depends on the size

28.
Typical ones 150– 200 watts

29.
WHEN THE SUNIS AT ITS BRIGHTESTSample 1 kW System

30.
How much cana wind turbine produce?Depends on the size

31.
Rated at windspeed when it performs bestSample 1 kW Wind Turbine

32.
Will that runmy home?Probably not!

33.
The cheapest wattis a “negawatt” – the one you don’t have to make!

34.
Every dollar spentin efficiency saves $3 you’d spend trying to make the power yourself

35.
Cheapest, simplest REsystem is to offset your grid power, not replace it all togetherHow much does it cost?$6 - $10 per “installed watt”

36.
= $6,000 –10,000 per installed kW

37.
Depends on complexityof system, quality of components used, height of wind tower, moreAre there any incentives?Now is a GREAT time!

38.
$2.00 per installedwatt from MN Solar Rebate (if NABCEP installer)$2.00 per installed watt from Great River Energy

39.
30% federal taxcredit (taken after rebates)How long until ROI?10 – 30 years, depending on rebates, etc.

40.
If getting allrebates, typical about 12 years

41.
First 12 years,you’ve purchased that energy at a fixed rate (like a tank of LP gas)

42.
After that, freeenergy for years to come
