In a power cut (black out) situation a simple inexpensive inverter can run some house hold appliances from a cars cigar lighter or 12 volt battery, (powering up lighting, refrigeration, computer, TV, telephones, cash registers or battery chargers etc).
With heavy duty inverters that allow for the use of fridges and freezers, drills and all other powered equipment, all from any 12 Volt source when no grid power is available. These inverters, coupled with solar PV panels can in fact run entire house holds with no on going bills to pay.
   
Alternative Power Products NZ supplies solutions to power generation that is not reliant on a national grid for the generation of power to homes, campers and businesses, as well as self reliant stand alone systems for remote energy applications.
You can harvest and use the free power provided by wind and solar collection. Generators and inverters with storage facilities can run all electrical appliances that currently use grid electricity. This is a reliable and green eco alternative now!
Why not consider solar panels or a wind generator, with deep cycle battery storage and inverter, you will never need to pay for an un reliable and ever increasing costly power company's bill , ever again.
It's clean, it's green, and environmently friendly and once set up, FREE power for life. It is not just a dream!
Be independent of power lines and power companys and be proud to harvest what nature is offering to us FREE of charge.
LATEST UPDATE:
As oil and natural gas prices climb, the cost of harnessing the power of sun and wind is dropping. A new advancement using "nanotechnology" (the science of building microscopic materials from single atoms or molecules) has enabled scientists to develop a "photovoltaic ink" that converts sunlight into electricity. This ink can be attached to a smooth surface or integrated into roofing material producing power at a tenth of the cost of some traditional silicon panels.
This will give us the world’s first printed thin-film solar cell in a commercial panel product.
Nanosolar
It also said a U.S. cell production factory began operations earlier this year in San Jose, California.
The privately owned company, which counts as investors Google Inc (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research) founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, SAP AG (SAPG.DE: Quote, Profile, Research) founder Klaus Tschira and venture capital firm Benchmark Capital, said it is currently producing about one megawatt of cells per month.
That output will be ramped up as its moves to supply customer contracts valued at about $4.1 billion.
The panel assembly plant in Luckenwald near Berlin is a fully automated assembly factory that can produce one panel every 10 seconds, or an annual peak capacity of 640 MW when operated around the clock.
Unlike most photovoltaic companies that use polysilicon to turn sunlight into electricity, Nanosolar uses cells made of a compound of copper indium gallium selenide, or CIGS, mounted on aluminum foil that it says enables it to produce efficient cells at a low cost.
The company did not reveal is production cost per watt, but said its CIGS cells achieve an efficiency of 16.4 percent and its panels an efficiency approaching 12 percent.
"Our foil cells represent two world records in one: It's the most efficient printed solar cell of any kind (all semiconductor and device technologies) as well as the most efficient cell on a truly low-cost metal foil," Nanosolar Chief Executive Officer Martin Roscheisen said in a statement.
