Depends on your location, amount of power required and how much money you have. Your choices would be solar; wind; generator powered by propane, natural gas, gas or diesel; or fuel cells. If you live near moving water you may also have a hydroelectric solution.

How do you generate electricity?

There are many ways to get electricity. Batteries are one form, outlets another. But if you want to generate your own electricity, you can use pedal or hand-powered generators, a wind turbine, or a solar panel. Most cars create electricity to power the spark plugs and run the accessories. All forms of consumer electricity are generated by moving spinning magnets past coils of copper wire in a device called an alternator. This can be driven by a steam turbine, a wind turbine, hydroelectric turbine or tidal barrage. (Solar photovoltaic cells generate DC current which must be converted to AC for input to the power grid.)


What is the difference between gross tariff and net tariff as regards solar panels?

This is where the electricity company buys the electricity you generate from your solar panels.Gross tariff means they buy everything you generate. This often means that they will buy your electricity during the day at a higher price than you have to pay them for your evening use.Net tariff means they buy only the surplus energy you produce. Your own electricity is used first on whatever is running in your house. If there is any left, then the company will buy it.Net tariff is also called export metering.

To generate electricity using magnets, you can create a simple generator by moving a magnet near a coil of wire. As the magnet moves, it creates a changing magnetic field that induces an electric current in the wire. This process is known as electromagnetic induction and can be used to generate electricity in various devices such as generators and turbines.
