Your Questions About Solar Energy Generators For Home

David asks…

How much power is required to power a large family home?

I am doing some research into setting up a wind turbine for my house. I see terms like ‘kW hours’ for energy or power consumption. If my house uses 1500kW hours of energy per week does this mean i need to run a 1500kW generator for 1 hour to satisfy my power needs?

How would i then go about sizing the required turbine needed to effectively power my home?

This is all new to me so i can see alot of follow up questions coming/

Carol asks…

Does the Electric company pay me for Solar energy?

I am moving into a house with Solar Panels that feed unused electricity into the PG&E grid.

1. Does the electric company have to pay me for giving them electricity if I use less than what my home generates?

2. Do they send me a check in the mail or credit my PG&E account?
