Any experience here with solar panels or windmills?

I've been interested in potentially going a smidgeon more green, and was
wondering if anyone here has any experience with solar panels (water
warming, or even photo voltaic), and/or windmills.

The research online does not compare to useful observations from people who
have actually installed them.

Al Gore does not have solar panels, or any other energy saving
improvements, installed on his 40,000 sq ft Nashville, Tennessee house.
Since he is the recipient of an Academy Aware for his documentary, "An
Inconvenient Truth", on global warming, I guess they don't work, or it
is just us who haven't a wife that is the heiress of the Heinz fortune
have to make the sacrifices. He uses over 18,000 kwh of electricity a
month and his natural gas bill is over $1000 per month.
George Bush does have energy saving improvements on his house in
Crawford, Texas.

Al Gore calls himself an environmentalist, yet he has four (!) kids. Snort.

but didn't Al Gore invent solar collectors?
