I really need to know who to talk to in Houston Texas about connecting to the grid. I want to put solar panels on my house but there are no instructions on paper or a good video that takes you through the steps from start to finish.
Also, what about adding a small wind generator? Do we have permission to do this? Please do not send me to someone who has not actually done this. I would like to talk to someone that has been there done that.

Great job on your video!

I spoke w the power company and understood they required me to have an aditional meter and sign a contract with a green company to buy back the watts, (at a greatly reduced rate). evan if I generate less than I consume…
Thanks
I look forward to your response.

People should deffinatley look into how viable solar panels will be for thier home before taking the plunge, otherwise they could end up actually being out of pocket in the long run.
