This FAQ does not deal in speculation. There is a lot of solid research and a lot of snake oil in the alternative energy world. While the research going on is exciting, and the fraud entertaining, this FAQ aims to supply information on techniques and systems currently available from commercial suppliers.This FAQ is biased towards the individual homeowner. While the largest users by far of photovoltaic technology are the "remote power" locations (such as space satellites, remote telecommunications equipment, and rural properties), this FAQ aims at guiding people to the information and resources required to either make a home grid-free or to add a grid-intertie solar system to a single family dwelling. When discussing economics, a nod will be given to other applications, but this level of coverage will not be maintained throughout. I invite persons with a different focus to suggest outlines for additional FAQ sections to cover these topics.
