Bio-fuels are a waste of time. They are not sustainable and if considered at the global scale, really do much more harm than good.

Just one question since I’m just learning about solar panels and I live in Kansas. We do get a lot of sun and of course, wind.
unfortunately, we have severe weather as you know. Does insurance cover these or I’m assumiung you have to pay for insurance and also, can they take tennis ball size hail a few times a year? what about 80-100 mile an hour winds and of course, what about the winds from tornados? In other words, how much beating can the solar panels take and are there systems to help hold them down in high winds?
Is this possibly why many people do not purchase solar panels here in Kansas?
I’m seriously asking this because again, I’m just learning about them. thank you.

In just about all the information I have read on renewable energy and indicators of potential, Kansas always pops in my head. Kansas is the perfect environment for wind, solar, bio-fuel production and food for human energy. Kansas seems like the epicenter for renewable energy production to me.

“A 3KW in Kansas cost $49,500″ This is pure insanity to propogate this type of misinformation. That equates to $16.50 a watt. No wonder they aren’t investing in solar. You can get systems installed for about $6-$8 a watt. 3KW system should cost $15,000-$22,000 depending on who installs it and what equipment you choose. I am a Georgia based solar company and we get competitive pricing. Maybe I should set up a branch in Kansas and provide the fine people of that state with the service they deserve. Solar power rocks please debunk this $49,500 for 3KW myth. Time to farm the sun like your sunflowers do. Good luck

Net metering is bogus. The “new” Kansas law is outdated and an appeasement of Westar.
There is a guy on ebay selling 3kw grid tie systems made in USA for 15K
You will not get more than $500 a year in savings with a 3kw system on a house unless you can track the sun, that requires land.
If you have land you will get 4x cost/watt benefit for installing a windmill.
