solar power companies - Highway 2.0: An American Interstate for the Solar Age (Part 1: Biomass)




Vacant land along Americas interstate highway system is renewed through the growing of quick-cycling biomass crops and the installation of wind turbines and solar photovoltaics. This represents an entirely new economy: Interstate Energy Farming. A redeveloped interstate corridor would be the backbone of an adaptive landscape reuse strategy on a national level.

Solar Electricity - Solar Controller for Solar Powered Attic Fans from US Sunlight Corp.




www.ussunlight.com Power your fan after dark The addition of the Solar Controller with Dual Mode Technology will enable your Solar Powered Attic Fan to run after sunset or when there is no light available from the sun. When there is no sunlight available to power the fan and the Solar Controller has the optional house power connection enabled, the Solar Controller will cycle house electricity for 8 minutes every half-hour in order to power the fan. This will allow your attic temperature to continue to drop after sunset and help remove the hot, stagnant air that can build up on those warm summer evenings. Real-time status updates: The remote control readout on the Solar Controller sends a radio signal through your walls and ceiling to give you a real-time status update on fan operation to let you know if your fan is running and if the power source is from the solar panel or the house electricity. No more questioning if your fan is running! This patent pending, industry-first advancement will give you the peace-of-mind that your fan is functioning and your attic is being ventilated. An intelligent device: The Solar Controller monitors both temperature and humidity optimizing your fans operation for maximum performance in all weather conditions. The Solar Controller intelligently limits the amount of electricity used to power the fan, so it is a perfect alternative to traditional electric powered vents. With the built-in temperature and humidity sensors, the Solar Controller <b>...</b>

Solar Electricity - Solar Panel, Wind Turbine, Renewable Alternative Energy - Pirate Lifestyle TV ™ Episode 025




www.PirateLifestyle.com Episode for the Pirate Lifestyle TV Show. We live without power company electricity with our Off Grid electrical system. Ahoy, I'm Capt Rob Lee and welcome to Pirate Lifestyle TV! Arrr Today's episode, too much important information for a quickie, is about you generating your own electricity. I have always been interested in what most people like to call, "alternative living and alternative power." Aye, we be livin' on a frickin' sailboat and we lived for 11 continuous months completely self-sufficient with our Off-Grid electrical system. In an earlier video we discussed the basics of, why and how you go Off-Grid. I'll make it a video response so you can watch it later. This video will be more hands on. In today's crazy unpredictable world generating your own renewable electricity for your sailboat, motorhome, remote camp, and even your current home will make you independent of big power companies. No more worrying about price increases and power outages. OK, let's get to it. A "Hybrid" system is a combination of solar, wind, and generator. The sun shines and the wind blows at different times of the day and year. Many times your needs might be greater than the solar and wind can produce. Systems that use several types of power generation have the advantages of each one. Solar panels convert sunlight directly to electricity any time the sun is shining. The amount of electricity generated depends on how much of the sun's energy hits it. They produce <b>...</b>
