Brother Alex. It would be much cheaper/better to invest in wind power.

Take a look at products like Whisper 100/200/500 etc. The 500 model can power an average home completely, the smaller models can drastically reduce your utility needs. There are things that have to be considered for wind (special needs such as average windspeed in your area etc) Wind is a bit cheaper than solar as well, although some new technologies like thin plastic solar sheets are bringing down the cost substantially for solar.

Take a look at http://www.treehugger.com for some interesting articles on alternative energy.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to sacrifice a goat.
