Photovoltaic convertors, better known as solar panels, have the capacity to convert the sun's energy into electricity. Coupled with a sort of electricity storage system, this can probably lead to huge savings. Today we see how one man, by thoughtful design, was able to power up his home for less than USD700.

Given a choice, however, I'd probably go for a flywheel battery: I think they are the wave of the future, compared to chemical based rechargeable batteries, flywheel batteries have an expected lifespan of 20 years.

Manufactured by EATON International, they have a sales representative in Malaysia. Not "a" sales representative but "three" sales reps.

White paper by Active Power company, but it also gives quite an indepth study of the present day advances in flywheel technology.

The funny thing is that I cannot seem to find a quotation price for the flywheel battery system... They might be trying to avoid scaring customers off (if the price is too high).
