    Well, even if you don't have the rubles to buy into a solar panel array, you can most certainly put a dent in your power bill by constructing hot water panels. Run the hot water that is produced during the day into a large container. Pull from the container to do all your washing and showering at night instead of using electricity or gas to produce hot water. A little further engineering could produce some old fashioned radiators. Run the hot water through them with a pump, set a fan behind them and presto, space heat. These panels are very simple and cheap to make yourself.
