Called the Solar Forest , the panels actually follow the sun throughout the day for maximum efficiency.

•Wind turbines do work but only when installed properly in an appropriate location. •There is a potential for delivering carbon savings and energy generation from domestic small-scale wind turbines in the UK. •The highest potential for successful household small-scale wind installations is in Scotland. •Wind speeds are difficult to predict and highly variable. The Energy Saving Trust recommends that potential customers first utilise the best available wind speed estimation tools and then, where appropriate, install anemometry to determine the wind speed distribution.

Here are the blades of a 20 inch diameter turbine, that produces about half a kilowatt. They will be mounted on a shaft that projects for a long distance forward, and backward, at an angle from horizontal, so that the wind encounters the rotors like a stairway. Each additional rotor brings more power. The combined output from all these small rotors really adds up.
MAGENN and MAPC employees have volunteered to commission a solar-powered water pump for the residents of the Yucatan, Mexico village of Timaz. Although this is a self-funded volunteer exercise, donations are welcome in support of this effort. If you wish to join MAGENN and MAPC in helping the world one village at a time, please contact timaz@magenn.com - Pierre Rivard, CEO of MAGENN Power, will contact you shortly.

LiFePO4 Batteries: A Breakthrough For Electric Vehicles >> MetaEfficient Review
Researchers have designed a product that its inventors claim could easily produce between 15 and 20 times the total electricity the world uses today. Not only that, it could also be used as a desalination device and may be able to reverse the effects of global warming. Those are pretty big claims, but the researchers from the Technion - Israel Institute of Science seem confident that the "Energy Tower" could be a major solution to the world's problems.
Energy Tower: Power for 15 Earths?
So often Prius owners are accused of being pious and smug – just wanting you to know how virtuous they are; by doing the right thing for the planet. This zero energy home takes that protest-too-much quality one step further: It advertises frankly to the neighbors when it is creating more energy than it is using. How? Energy efficient (LED of course) lights under the house glow eco-virtuous green when it is producing more than enough energy for its elegantly simple and spartan needs. But what if the house is not making enough energy for its inhabitants? Well, when when it’s using more energy than it is making , this little house “blushes” an eco-embarrassed red.

For applications where space doesn't matter (like putting panels in your back yard or on your roof), you want to make the most power for the least cost. Here is what I've found...
