fyi - I just thought this was interesting ....
Costco is selling a
900W wind generator (for off the grid power)?

and a
246W solar panels kit (for RV recharging?)

Neither includes the battery storage system so either system
is only a part of what would be necessary to generate your
own power and survive off the grid - However, I found it interesting
because its the first time I've seen a mainstream retailer carry
something like that... Home Depot and Lowes have avoided
the alternative energy market .
