This set is Only 5 solar panels that are on the small Barn I will take Video of the Four solar panels on the Garage they are Grid tie to I dont Charge Back up Batteries at this time Only Grid tie. I may add some 12 volt deep Cycle Batteries doen the road For Back up power Becouse when the power Goes Out I am Not Making Power they are Just dead Heading and i am Not Making Power. When this Happends The Grid tie Shouts Down in Isalates itself I have A main Breaker 240 volt in the Garage to Shout down for extra Safty so No power Feeds threw the Line. But the Grid Tie inverter will block this itself If i am Not Home and Power Goes Out Its A safty thing All the 5 pv Solar panels are B-Grade Blemished solar panels and they work over spec I get More Power then Rated a Mid Day when Sun is at its Highest Point in the Sky Some Free Help Links www.solarcells101.com To Buy b-Grade solar panels, or B-Grade solar cells, Broken or chiped I have them at www.solarcells101.com Or go to My other store at solarcells101.ecrater.com I Hope you Injoyed My DIY Solar Videos Plese Take the Time to share with Others FaceBook, +1 OR ANYOTHER Thanks, David www.solarcells101.com






solar power companies - France in total blackout. Grid collapses.




The electric grid of France wires snapped due to the freeze. France in total blackout. Der Spiegel reporting grid collapse on 2-11-12. Meanwhile, the solar based German power system is working great, because it was DECENTRALIZED in 2001 using solar power, wind, geo, hydro & bio. Feed in Tariff laws have saved the German economy from the economic crash of 2008. California must build a million SOLAR roof tops to save its economy. The US must decentralize our economy to save it from the 1% the utilities & the atomic energy corporations, who are strangling economic growth. German homeowners have saved German economy. California needs to do what Germany is doing. It is a law of physics that it is inevitable that oil & nuclear energy can only be a temporary stage. The world will soon be out of uranium & oil. We must quickly switch from fossil fuels to Solar, wind & Geo thermal. We can power California & the US 100% using Solar & renewables. Most people do not yet understand this idea. US corporations are proposing huge desert solar farm projects. They claim this will lower energy costs for consumers. They run full page color glossy ads on TV, on the internet, & in newspapers with glowing descriptions of the "Super Grid" & Desert Tech solar farms. The hidden nuclear agenda behind the ads is to try and prevent homeowners from installing solar panels on their homes. The utilitiy companies have been badly shaken by 2 big events in the last year: Fukushima and Germany closing down <b>...</b>

This system is equipped with a computer that knows the movement of the sun relative to location and time of year. It controls the motor so that the solar panels are adjusted every few minutes to receive the maximum amount of direct sunlight throughout the day.

Solar Energy - APS Testing Energy Storage




Arizona Public Service began testing a new 1.5 megawatt-hour energy storage system that can generate the equivalent power output of 1200 hybrid cars or 300000 cell phone batteries. The goal of the company's two-year pilot in Flagstaff, Ariz., will be to determine the benefits for storing electricity and putting it onto the grid at times when APS customers need it most. APS is also using this pilot to explore how it can use energy storage to make electricity more reliable and affordable for the long term, with a greater proportion of that power coming from renewable energy.
