how much does it cost? is it reliable? if you also have their address and phone number, please include.
Thank you very much 
Most of the listings on the Net were in the years 2007 and 2008, and so far I found only this Solar Electric Co (SOLARCO) 724 48 12, run by a certain Mr.Puckett.
You might also try the Green Architecture Movement, United Architects of the Philippines, at 53 Scout Rallos, QC 4126364, 3721796, for better info.
Costs may have come down from P70 thou and P60thou that they mentioned in 2007, but I am not sure.
Solar panel manufacturing could still be in the infancy stage, although big players like the Lopez Group and Shell Philippines are already in the field. Home use involves the solar panel plus battery plus inverters, although someone suggests to change some home wiring to 12V rather than go for inverters. There were also suggestions that China made appliances like airconditioning and refrigerators are available, running on solar power.
It’s not difficult to build your own windmill. All you need is to search for the different components through your local yard. What to you need to create your windmill, and what windmill design works best?
To create your own wind electricity, you need the essential. It is composed of a tower, a blade, a motor, a base, and the batteries. And you know what? You can even take material like the DC motor you find in normal washing machines.
With the rising costs of electricity and cost of living in general, it’s the time to think about creating your own power. Many people think that this is not feasible because they don’t have the right knowledge. You can do this easily, and for cheap. I’m talking about less than $300, and just in a couple of days.
Before you start building your own windmill and take more vacation (because you have more money to spend) as a result, you need to choose the best windmill design for your needs. A windmill’s design is very simple. You have the tower, blades, motor, base and batteries. You can even use common materials found in any scrap yard. For instance, the motor can be a DC motor you find in old treadmills, sewing machines and washing machines. You need to know that the size of your motor is important to determine how much power you will make from the wind. Your tower’s height is also an important factor to consider.
And finally, you need to know the exact number of Watts your wind turbines will have. This will enable you to calculate how much you are saving on your power bills. When you are ready to start, make sure that you have a plan that is easy to follow. If possible, choose a plan with pictures and even videos.

The waste products are the panels themselves as they age. Their lifespan is 10-25 years, depending on the panel, and any damage it receives during its lifetime.
Most of the products in the panels can be recycled. There are getting to be more plastics and vinyl used in the manufacture of the panels. Sometimes the plastics and vinyls are not easy to get recycled.
The biggest waste product however would be if the solar panels are used to generate electricity, and not just warm/hot water. If the panels generate electric, batteries are used to store the power in. The batteries are of course highly toxic. The batteries can also be recycled. They are filled with lead, and acid. Very bad for the environment if just dumped somewhere.
Passive solar…just heats water up in the solar panels (no electric produced)
Active Solar…produces electricity which is stored in multiple batteries (deep cycle marine batteries usually).

If you are interested in the idea of making a windmill at home, this article will definitely interest you. I have done countless hours of research regarding this area of renewable energy, and every day still surprises me. What I mean by this is that the benefits that come with making your own electricity at home are incredibly abundant. In this short article, I want to explain a few of these benefits to you.
The first major benefit that I want to mention is that you can save a lot of money! It is not hard to tell that most people in todayâs economy have a desire to save some extra cash every month. Home wind power is an easy way to accomplish this. It costs a very small amount of money to get started, and the savings can last for a long time.
But how long will these savings last? These savings that you will experience will continue for many years. Sure, you might need to fix a few parts every once in a while on your home windmill, but for the most part maintenance is rare and you can sit back and enjoy your new found savings.
The second major benefit is that you will be helping the environment. If you have not started making at least small changes in your lifestyle to better the environment, you are certainly not in the majority. People all over the world are starting to realize the negative effects that we all have on our beautiful planet each and every day. There are small changes you can make that will have a huge impact.
One of these changes you can make is to switch to home wind power. Making a windmill at home is an awesome way to do your part. You will be helping to eliminate tons of greenhouse gasses that are emitted from power plants all over the world. You will be using clean and renewable energy that will never run out. This is another big reason why literally millions of people are turning to the option of making a windmill at home.
Yet another reason why you should change over to making your own wind power is because the energy is always going to be available. Sure, there may be a day or two where there is no wind, but that does not mean you canât use the energy you have already made. Windmills store energy in batteries that can be used at any time. Itâs not like you just make the power as you use it. This is why wind energy is such a smart choice, it can be stored!
I hope that this article has helped you to better understand some of the principles behind making your own windmill at home and its benefits. This is a movement that is growing very quickly. People have long used solar energy, but wind is finally starting to take the lead I think. It would be a smart choice for you to get in on it now.

Years ago small farmers all over the world used a simple system to generate their own electricity using a natural resource found everywhere â Wind. When power companies became commonplace and widespread people began to depend o them for their energy needs and left behind a reliable and self dependant method of generating power. Over the last twenty years or so, there has been a steady number of households turning back to wind as their power source, and why not.
Not only is it a cost effective way of providing power but also of doing your part for the environment. A personâs carbon footprint could be dramatically decreased by simply reverting to the wind as a source of power using one of the simpler methods of harnessing and generating electricity, namely, the windmill.
When one thinks of a windmill you probably have an image of Holland, where for years windmills have been commonplace and were used originally for turning mill stones to produce flour and crush grain. The windmill I recent times has been sprouting up not one at a time but by the dozen in the often seen âwind farmsâ across the globe.
Often standing 90 metres tall or more, these wind turbines are being installed by developers and even farmers as a business opportunity. The power generated from these turbines is fed into the national grid and the farmer gets paid for this service.
These wind turbines are on a large scale, but what can the householder do when on a limited budget. There are many who wish to do their part for the environment but simply donât have sufficient funds to make the change over to renewable energy sources. Luckily enough to power the average size home using a windmill doesnât require much equipment or money to set up. Comprehensive guides and manuals have been compiled with the energy conscious individual in mind.
