Not sure if this is the right spot for this but... I've been trying to assemble the most ideal set-up I can put together for the space constraints I have and I saw a few things that came to mind...
Does anyone here use alternative energy like wind or solar? I see the kits that include everything but the battery for relatively cheap and would for at least the solar panels I saw, handle ALL of the power requirements I need for now. Besides the basic stuff like having a hard-wired back-up in the event of terrible weather or an equipment malfunction, are there any drawbacks to using alternative power for a smaller grow?
Just testing the waters I suppose.. I suppose just like anyone else, I want to optimize my project with as little cost increase as possible. I had even considered making a sort of "solar tube" which I've seen in homes where it's just a tube with reflective interior that is placed under a clear or translucent cap and it focuses the sunlight almost like a spot light.
