Why not try to make your own solar panels and install your own solar power system.

You Can Make Your Own Alternative Energy System
By Josh Stevens
If you are thinking of trying to install some alternative energy sources into your home you are probably thinking of solar power or windmills. If you are a do-it-yourself type you can easily build something yourself working off of a set of plans. You could go out and buy a system already pre-assembled and ready to go, but you would be paying a lot more than you would if doing it on your own.
You are probably thinking of reducing your energy costs and thinking of which way you go with an energy saving source. If you are thinking of solar power you could go for powering the whole house or using it for running some appliances. There are a couple types of solar power you can use. You could assemble collection panels to charge batteries or use passive solar heat for heating water.
If you are thinking of wind power, is your location a good place for taking advantage of the wind? If you are located where the wind is blocked or there just are not strong enough winds that blow you may have to forget this plan. Not having enough wind may not generate enough electricity to make it worth it. If you decide to proceed with your windmill, you can find some decent plans for building it yourself.
If you can build a energy saving system to provide electricity to your home you will make a savings on your energy bill. You may be able to be self-sustaining if you build a large enough system
