You can do some other energy conservation stuff in the house. You can build a solar panel for less than $200 or if it would work in your area, you might want to consider a small wind generator. You can build one usually for less than $100. There are lots of manuals available showing you how to do this, but they aren't all written well. There are 3 evaluated at http://www.makerenewableenergy.weebly.com This is something that sounds really hard to do, but can be done easily. Good luck with what ever you decide.<br><b>References : </b><br> It’s hard with an older rental. You can do some other energy conservation stuff in the house.

I guess I would continue with any additional energy conserving improvements that aren't going to get you in trouble with your landlord, then you could experiment with solar power for your home. You could start with a radio or a charger as has been suggested. There are a number of options available. Once you’ve gone through this exercise, you might be ready for the portable solar panels. Remember that you have the option of buying or constructing your own. There are a number of resources available to help you out with this sort or thing, but one called Efficient Planet is probably the best one for you. It covers a lot about home energy conservation as well DIY solar power.<br><b>References : </b><br>http://www.efficientplanet.ca Yeah, you’re limited to what you can do in a rented home.

Even if you owned the house solar electric is 25 to 50,000 to make any house hold power. BUT solar hot water is cheap and plentiful. you can make an outside shower. http://www.builditsolar.com/Projects/WaterHeating/water_heating.htm<br><b>References : </b><br> when ever you want to discuss solar energy you have state where you live.

You can't make any changes without the owners permission, and anything you do to the house becomes his property. Don't do anything, even insulation, without his permission. Any improvment you make should be re-imbused in some way by agreement with him. Any meaningful solar installation would take major renovation, and be very expensive.<br><b>References : </b><br>Retired Construction Consultant Because you rent, your options are limited.

Won't save you any money though. Panel costs will offset the few pennies saved on electricity. Live frugal. Save money.

I want to be as energy conscious as possible, but it seems impossible in this old house that was built long before anyone even thought about conserving energy. I know we can seal the windows, we've already replaced all light bulbs with CFL's. We don't have the money for large solar panels and even then we can install anything because we are just renting. Are there any portable solar panels that we can put in the backyard or something? Any advice on how to conserve energy would be great! How can I use solar power in my rent home?
