I am considering to create something like northern tool, but focused only on green(renewable) energy: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/category_alternative-renewable-energy
As an advantage, I can find solar panels for prices less than $ 1.8/watt retail which is something given that best retailers these days don’t fall < $ 2. Solar energy for instances doubles in demand recently every 2 years and in 2009 the government (us) passed some bill to subside households that buy alternative energy products – so you can save additionally about 40% or something. So…in a nutshell, I know there are way too many things to consider, like initial investment, certificates, marketing, but my major concern is if this business will make money in that economy and in a relatively new unknown area to the end customer. 10x!

Starting just about any business right now is a bad idea due to the probable collapse of the U.S. economy…buy gold…buy things to sustain yourself for 3 to 6 months. It’s gonna get really bad soon.
yes ofcourse creating an online store for green energy products a good idea
If you have a good business plan, then absolutely pursue your goals of starting your own business. Make sure it is something you are doing because you enjoy it, don’t do it just because of the money. If you can keep your overhead low, then you’d be okay going for 20% – 30% margin in a retail market.
