Out of all of the available grid down power replacements, solar is most viable and the easiest with which to work. Except for our friends in Alaska, in January, the sun is a plentiful resource for everybody. While installing a solar system can be relatively easy, understanding how it works and the parts and pieces necessary can be a bit daunting. This video series on DIY Off Grid Solar power answers all of the questions you might have when it comes to designing and installing your own system.
It forces you to look at solar power from a different, new perspective.

The same goes for solar, if you put together a system that will fulfill basic needs, it suddenly becomes affordable if you cut the cable and forget about Starbucks for a while.
