I do have a serious technical question.
We have solar panels in New Hampshire and have tried to have the power come right into the house but have heard that we would need a massive, high maintenance battery to do this.
How do you manage to get the power from the sun to come into your house?
I'll elaborate on that in another post. I don't want to take this one completely off topic. My suggestion in the meantime is to google search for how to make solar power residential systems. You can do very little or a lot. And it's not that hard, but it's important to start learning right away. Have a look at http://solarenergytip.com/ for some very basic articles and options to get you started.
