Wholesalesolar.com has great information about wind and solar home power generation systems and compares different prices and brands. This website should really help you compare the prices of wind and solar home power generation systems.
Some websites (in California) where you can get home power generation systems are: http://www.generac.com/, http://www.totalpower.ca/ and http://www.newenergycorp.ca/
There are many different types of home power generation systems that you can choose from. You can go with traditional "fuel-based" home power generation systems that use gasoline or diesel to generate power. If you want to go green, then you may be interested in one of the many home solutions for renewable energy. These can be anything from small-scale wind generators to small-scale solar panels that can be easily installed on your roof.
After searching for an answer to this question I can only find information on nuclear power generation in power station. I would assume that this complete lack of any information in relation to home nuclear power generation means it will not be a possibility in the near future.

Depending on you area there are a couple of options. Such as solar panels, wind turbines and water wheels. Also if just general information your local power company as plenty of resources at you disposal. A good Canadian site www.energyquest.ca.gov covers all types of power generation.
A website called whole solar has all the information you need to know about residential solar power systems. They have complete information about switching to a solar powered home and tell the cost of it and much more.
There are many websites that offer information about various solar power systems. Looking through details from service providers and manufacturers of solar power systems is a great place to start, such as Wholesale Solar and Origin Energy.
wind power generator dot com is a good place to go they have great information on everything you need to know about wind power, both private and public.
