It takes a long time to grow energy. Oil took millions of years to form. It takes a tree about 50 years to grow into a few hundred kilograms of firewood. It takes the light of the sun 8 minutes to reach us. Energy creation is time consuming, really.
But we dont create energy, unless you are riding a bicycle. Humans don't make any of it, we are using it. Not many people realize that this is also a time process. You use x energy in x amount of time. And the good news is in that part.
Many people think that when they want to use, say, a 100W (watt) vaccuum cleaner, they also need 100 watt generation power from their solar/wind generators. but thats not entirely the case.
If you vaccuum once a day for 30 minutes, you use roughly 1/50th of a day. so solar cells have about 25x more time to collect this 100W, and a windgenerator has 50x as much time. This is since solar cells work only in daylight and wind can generate power all night too (provided there is wind at all).
This means, a system using solar does not need 100W direct capacity. it needs 100/25 = 4W capacity to be able to power your daily vacuum routine. Of course there will be losses somewhere depending on the system you use, but i hope i made the point clear. With even a small solar cell, and a battery to store this power over the time of the day you can vacuum for free.
