Solar Electricity - DIY - Portable Solar Power - The Practical Freezer Test - PART 2




This video is the 2nd of a 3 part series to show what a homemade portable solar generator could do in a power outage. In this video I plug in compact freezer at 5:00 pm, with the intent to run it for a full day, or until it dies from too low battery voltage. To ensure success I also added 5 or 6 homemade frozen gel packs and a 1 Gallon frozen ice jug to the contents of the freezer for added cold retention. The intent was to see what I could do to keep the compressor from coming on too frequently and draining the battery. Since a compressor doesn't usually run 100% of the time, I wanted to see if I could decrease the runtime significantly thereby increasing the effectiveness of the Portable Solar Generator. My Portable Solar Generator was built with the following components: 1ea. Cart\Dolly from COSTCO at $20 1ea. Battery Box from O'Reileys auto parts at $11 to $14 1ea. 1200W modified sine wave inverter at around $60 or $70 dollars? 1ea. 115ah Deep Cycle battery from From COSTCO at $89 1ea. PWM Instapark charge controller from Amazon at $30 To build your own, check out this video: www.youtube.com

Solar Power - Alternate Energy 4, solar, crisis peak oil off grid gas 2012,good




Beautiful orrery(solar system model) avaiable in : www.orrerystore.com .In this short video series we will explore the basics of setting up an alternate energy system. What each component does, how it functions and it&#39;s place in an off grid system. Designed specifically for the homesteader or survivalist, this video is designed to help get you started on your road to energy independence!The system shown runs a house approximately 1500 sq. feet plus intermittant lighting and tool use on a couple of outbuildings. The house uses LP gas for water heater and cook stove. Everything else except AC is ran off this system. Total cost of the system show was under $20K with the bulk of it purchased in 1998 and 1999. Batteries have been replaced one time at the cost of $3K for the changeout of 20 batteries. No matter what your preparing for: nuclear war, terrorism, economic collapse, market crash, food shortages, famine, etc. Having a working Alternate energy system can help greatly around your homestead or survival retreat. There is one section of one of the videos that has poor lighting, this could not be helped. If your looking for Spielberg cinematography, you came to the wrong place! We know the lighting is bad in that part, no need for immature comments regarding this.

solar power companies - SMA - the biggest producer of solar energy inverters




SMA Solar Technology AG develops, produces and sells solar inverters and monitoring systems for photovoltaic applications. SMA is the worlds largest producer in this segment and is the only vendor that has a product range with the matching inverter type for any module type and any power class. This applies for grid tied applications as well as island and backup operation. The inverter is technologically the most important component in any solar power system: it converts the direct current generated in photovoltaic cells into alternating current suitable for the grid. In addition, it is an intelligent system manager, responsible for yield monitoring and grid management. Solar inverters are characterized by a particularly high efficiency. The Sunny Mini Central produced by SMA already has an efficiency of over 98 %, which allows for increased electricity production. SMAs business model is driven by technological progress. Due to its flexible and scalable production, SMA is in a position to quickly respond to customer demands and promptly implement product innovations. This allows the Company to easily keep pace with the dynamic market trends of the photovoltaic industry and at the same time absorb short-term fluctuations in demand for solar inverters. SMA Solar Technology AG is headquartered in Niestetal, near Kassel, and is represented by sales and service subsidiaries on four continents in eleven countries. This group of companies employs more than 3000 employees (incl <b>...</b>
