Question:

How can I use solar power in a cheap way? Can I plug my laptop into a solar panel?

I want to buy something cheap that I can use as just a regular plug. I‘d like to be able to plug anything into it (microwave, cell phone charger, lap top, etc.). I‘ve seen many solar chargers but they are only compatible with USB or with specific models of phones. Is there a solar panel that I can just plug a 2 or 3 prong plug into? THANKS!I know nothing about electricity, so I‘m not going to be able to wire anything, so that kind of stuff is out of the question. I don‘t want to run my house on solar power, but maybe something smaller.

Answer:

No is the short answer. But With Renewable Energy, the cost is up front, you pay for 100% of it now, then its mostly free from then on. With fossil fuels you pay over the entire course of time and this gets more and more every year. The house I bought in 1995 uses the same amount of energy now as it did then, but my bill has went up 200% since. Here are some links to look for what you can do.
