How to Install a Small to Mid Size Solar & Wind Power Generation System
How to Install a Small to Mid size Solar Power and Wind Generation System Using/Installing Solar Panels plus info on Wind Generator Installation Most people think that solar power is only used to power huge inverters to attach to the power grid and feed extra power back into the grid. Well yes you can do this IF you have thousands and THOUSANDS of dollars to spend. Most people don’t even think or realize how much you can do with 12 volt power. I have 98% of all the lights inside and outside my home are 12 volt LED’s. Most of my LED lights use only 3 watts or 6 watts of power. I have a 12 volt Evaporative (swamp) Cooler to cool my home on hot summer days. I have a 12 volt coffee pot to make my coffee in the morning. I wake up with a 12 volt alarm clock. I have 12 volt electric blankets in my home I use on cold winter nights to keep me and my wife toasty warm. I have several 12 volt fans and 12 volt water pumps for my Aquaponics system. I have a 12 volt refrigerator you can buy at about any truck stop and it works great (no freezer though). I can even make FREE hot water with my 12 volt power system. With a small inverter I can charge my cordless power tools. I do use a 3000 watt inverter, that is dedicated to power my sump pump (if it’s needed), that is the only thing I use that inverter for. Everything else is 12 volt. When we do lose power the ONLY way I can tell the power is off is the TV stops working. And you can buy a 12 volt TV and DVD player also. I discovered many years ago that 12 volt was used by house boats, sail boats, remote cabins, truckers use a lot of 12 volt devices SO WHY CAN'T YOU USE 12 VOLT IN YOUR HOME? You can and it's easy to install, cheap to buy the materials and it will save you tons of money. I live in an ALL electric home 1500 sq. ft. plus a full size basement with 3 teenagers. My lowest grid power bill was $47.00 and another was $68.00 but my typical power bill is about $100 except for the hot summer months when I do brake down and run my house air conditioner (hey I like my comfort too). You cat also save a ton of money by installing your own 12 volt system. You too can live on 12 volt power just as I do. I live in an all electric home with 3 teenagers who all have their own big TV’s, video games etc. I have electric hot water heater, a huge chest freezer, electric heat and air, electric cook stove and my smallest “grid†power bill was $47.00 (my average power bill is ( about $100) at a time when my neighbors power bill is running $250.00 to $350.00 +
