Wind and solar energy systems

[skeet]

Fabs, I have been playing with the idea of putting in a solar hybrid system for a couple of months.. I have plenty of sunshine to generate electricity but the wind isn't always reliable at a good clip...but I also have hydro power in the form of the irrigation canal that runs constantly at about a 10 mile per hour rate from April 15 to Oct 15. So may put in a small hydro power system in the whole thing. The payout period is figured at 7 yrs right now and I think there is some gummit money available too...or at least a tax write off..but you would know the tax thingie better than I
