wind turbine/solar panel/grid tie inverter

Posted by admin on May 30, 2010

Just a quick update on my system and to show my new 140 watt solar panel, and my new 600 watts grid tie inverter, my meter is a new meter so it doesn’t “spin” backwards however it stops so the power produced by the panels is being consumed at home and it stops the meter adding up and when I have a big load like a washing machine on then if the machine needs 2200 watts then I will only be using 2000 watts, you can buy everything you see on this video from my website or just join the forum:

How do you transport solar power tower energy to a building that is 4 kms away?

Posted by admin on May 30, 2010

And is an area of 1 km^2 for a solar power tower enough to produce energy for five houses? can you make an approximation of how much it could supply?

If you want the heat energy, consider tracking mirrors at the site and solar collectors on the houses. If you want electric energy, that area is enough to support a traditional steam turbine, much more cost-effective than photovoltaic. That area is about 15 times the area that Solar One used to generate 10 megawatts in the Mohave Desert, so it could supply a theoretical maximum of 150 megawatts during peak sunshine. That’s probably enough to match the demand of about 25,000 homes. Best bet would be to feed it to the electric power grid.


I want to power my new home I am building on solar power alone what will the cost be roughly?

Posted by admin on May 30, 2010

I also want to stay off the electric grid . It would cost an additional ten thousand dollars to be hooked into it and I want to be independant from utilities. Would solar panels and batteries power lights and T.V , computer , washer dryer ect.

TV, lights and small appliances, yes. Washer, maybe. Dryer, not likely unless it’s gas – consider a clothesline. Electric range or oven, no. Hot tub, no unless it’s converted to a gas heater.

The raw panels are about $3-8 per watt. So for 6Kw figure about $18k for the panels. The charger/inverter and batteries, figure $2-3k more. Figure about $30k including the installation.

You might also consider a generator. The off-grid houses I’ve seen tend to have them, even if they have batteries too. Add $3k for that.

Do you have a creek? Consider small-scale hydro too.


Which companies are the vanguards of the solar power, wind power and biodiesel industries?

Posted by admin on May 30, 2010

Do you know which companies show the most promise in these emerging fields? Thanks for any guidance.

I guess it depends on whether you are talking about the manufacturer or the sales/install side. We utilize schueco technology: http://www.schueco.com/web/us/start/home They are very impressive!

We have a really good white paper on our website to describe the different solar Technologies:

anyone know facts on solar energy?

Posted by admin on May 30, 2010

i’m doing a report on it for science,
and i can’t really find too many good facts.
help would be pretty stellar :]

Solar radiation, along with secondary solar resources such as wind and tidal power or wave power, gravity driven river flows and biomass, accounts for most of the available renewable energy on Earth. Once this energy is captured in the form of heat or electricity, it is like any other energy source and can be put to all the uses that human ingenuity can devise. solar energy can heat up rooms, water, and dry out things for you. it can power just about anything that uses electricity. you can store the energy for later use, or seasonal use.Nellis Solar Power Plant, the largest photovoltaic power plant in North America. about half of the sun’s rays actually make it to earth.

How to Build Very CHEAP Solar Panels and Wind power Generator and Cut your Electricity Bills by 90%

MAKE CHEAP SOLAR PANEL in 1 hour

Make solar panels:
The fact is that most people don’t know about the benefits of generating renewable energy themselves. They also don’t know how easy it is to do this.

They just pay $1,000s a year in electricity without having a clue that there is a much better way…
The Easiest, Cheapest Way
To Generate Renewable Energy

There are many solutions to produce renewable energy.

However, most of the products are not designed to produce the electricity needed for home supply. They cost fortunes and are only usable in the corporate world.

Some companies have developed products for generating home wind power or solar power, but they cost $1,000s for only one product. And this doesn’t even include installation.

Luckily this is where we come in. HomeMadeEnergy.org will teach you everything you need to have your own solar or wind power system for $200 or even less.

I’ve made countless tests to make sure that these are the most effective methods for producing heaps of energy.

And once I had these plans, I wrote them out professionaly for the “average Joe”, with plain English words. Anyone can understand and use them. (Even a 15-year old kid!).

And before releasing them in a guide, I’ve given them to many test subjects to see if all of them can succeed in generating enough electricity to power their home. How Would You Like To UNPLUG Your
House From Your Electrical Company,
