Generating electricity

The first in a series of posts about green energy, this is about the different ways i generate electricity at home:

1. solar panels (http://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk/):
- covers basic electricity usage (well, some of the usage, i'll go into that in a later post) from March to September (as long as the sun shines a bit, mainly an issue in March-April and September).
- total of 200W, placed on the inside, half facing east, half facing west,

2. generator bicycle
- for when the sun doesn't shine (enough), more info in a later post.

3. and finally a 18V power supply
- for when there is not enough sun/i didn't use the generator bicycle enough...
