The Utah Public Service Commission has rejected a request from Rocky Mountain Power for a monthly fee to be charged to Utah homeowners who have solar panels on their roofs, according to the Deseret News.The original announcement of the fee several months ago sparked thousands of comments and a six-hour public hearing. Christopher Thomas, executive director of HEAL Utah, responded to the Commission’s decision by saying, “This victory belongs to the tens of thousands of rooftop solar owners, community councils, faith communities, businesses, and Utah citizens who stood up for the freedom to choose clean solar energy.”
Power4Patriots, which encourages homeowners to purchase or make their own solar panels and have them installed on their property in order to save money and lighten the load on an overtaxed electrical grid, commends the Commission for its decision to prevent the utility from “taxing the sun.”
Power4Patriots is a recently updated series of videos and manuals describing how to build solar panels, wind turbines, water heaters and solar heaters. The system includes six videos demonstrating how to build a solar panel, including choosing the right materials, finding the right site for the system and avoiding costly mistakes, as well as two instruction manuals with step-by-step, illustrated directions. It also includes four videos and two instruction manuals detailing how to build a wind turbine.
The company says that installing solar panels and a wind turbine at one’s home will cut energy costs by as much as 75 percent. On average, the costs are under $200 to build a solar panel and under $200 to build a wind turbine. Consumers who purchase already-made solar panels and wind turbines spend three to four times that amount.
Allen Baler, Partner at 4Patriots, says the time commitment to build a solar panel ranges from two to four hours, with the first one requiring more time than subsequent panels. A wind turbine requires a handful of hours to build.
Power4Patriots was created as a way to allow anyone to become independent of high power bills and outages. Cost-effective and uncomplicated, Power4Patriots teaches people how to build their own, environmentally friendly sources of energy.
Patriot Headquarters publishes articles, videos and news to help patriots become more self-reliant and independent from government and big business.
