Solar power?

Question

We are looking at buying a house and renovating it, and were wondering about using solar or wind power to power much of our house. We will have a well, be on a septic system, have a wood burning furnace for heating the house, so we would like to have solar or wind power so we can use as little electricity as possible (its insanely expensive here!). We also have our appliances (fridge, stove, washer, dryer, freezer).
How much would a basic set up be for a 900 sq ft, 3 bedroom house? For either wind turbines or solar panels and necessary equipment? I am in Southern Ontario.

Thanks!

Based on just the necessities refrigerator washer dryer television lights I would say approxmetly $40,000 bare minimum unit this is sometimes tax defferred must check local State agency You might be able to finance the unit so can be less to pay then a electric bill Good Luck
This is a Good Ideal for the long run if you plan to stay there for the next 15 years you will save no more electricity free and clear electrical bill some electrical company will buy electricity back from you if you have excess electricity
