Hello, I'm a student conducting a short open-ended survey to get a feel of how solar-powered installations at home will be perceived and received by the average person. Your responses will help me develop a sustainable product for residential use. Feel free to respond and send me your comments. Thank you very much for helping! - MariaCGL
How do you feel about using sola-powered appliances or other installations at home?
I have lived off-grid for about four years relying completely on solar electric power. I learned a lot about conservation as my system is very modest, but I wouldn't exchange it for a monthly electric bill-I own my power not rent it from an electric company that can hike rates and pollute the air as much as they please.
I feel that utilizing solar energy has helped me look at my energy use in a new way. I have developed a new pattern language in my home and during my daily activities that have made me much less wasteful. Solar energy is expensive and so being efficient always trumphs adding solar modules to the home.
It feels great to use renewable energy from the sun!

Reply:yeah what sandy said, its expensive. if you can do it cheap, sure, but i am looking for something that performs the same way as the other appliances, not something weaker bc it runs off of the sun's battery. and also i dont want any extra things in my kitchen related to it, and i dont want to have to do any extra work or fidgeting to get it going. thats probably why it feels unreasonavle to alot of people...imho

Reply:Hey, Maria. I'd be open to anything solar-powered, but unfortunately, it's not cost-effective for the average person. The start-up costs, and the retro-fit of the home is much too expensive.
