How would you build a Solar Panel that can convert Sunlight to Energy, just being on your house roof?

Lays304 asked:


Well, I am looking for a cheap way on building a solar panel, instead of buying by the manufacturing stores. I would like to stay in the budget up to 1,000 dollars. I want to have Solar Energy for my house because the sun is always shining. Is there a way I can make the Light power some of my house? What would I need? How much time would it take?
Where can I get the items I need?

Is there an inexpensive wind turbine?

sally_dood asked:


Is there an inexpensive wind turbine. The only one I am seeing is this air-x thing which only produces 400 watts at 28 mph winds. AND ITS 500$!!!! Is there a turbine that is around the 500$ range that produces enough power to power the whole house???? Or is there another alternative????
solar is probably out of the question as it is so expensive.
