Nature is so abundant, It comes with the solution while we are making the mess

 

Isn't it a wonderful idea to get energy absolutely free of charge. And know it will stay like that forever.

Passive Solar Systems are capable of heating or cooling your house. They heat water that you can use right-away or use as a refrigerator in reverse as an air-conditioner

Electricity from photo voltaic panels can power your house for years to come.

The sun is our inexhaustible super energy plant. Contrary to fossil energy it is endless, its clean and without responsible CO2 emissions responsible for global warming.

Solar- or Photo-voltaic Panels are silent, clean and hardly need maintenance. With a life span of about 40 years they will keep on working for you day in and day out.

PV systems are easy and quick to set up anywhere you need electricity

The simple installation process, the way the fit on rooftops and contrary to wind-turbines complete silent operation make them a perfect solution in residential areas .

A few panels your rooftop are a guaranty to an electricity supply for the years to come. And best of all, there are no price increase.

What are your immediate benefits -And how to get them

Depending on the dimensions of your panel a 125 Wp panel will approximately supply 4.5 Amperes at 25 Volts. Join 4 together and you end up at about 100 Volt at 4, 4 Amperes. Without any additional measures that is rather useless.

Stand Alone or Grid connected systems

Useless because to power your everyday appliances, you will need a steady AC current of 110 Volts. To overcome this obstacle you have two options.

  • charge batteries and convert the battery power to the AC current you need.

  • invert the DC from your panels immediately and feed a surplus into the main grid.

Our first system makes you a (partially) independent from the grid. Power failures have no effect on your self generated power. One problem is the price of batteries and their limited life span. Hydrogen will someday be able to overcome this storage problem but hasn't done so yet.

The second option tying yourself to the public grid has advantages. You sell your excess power to the utility company and buy electricity when your own supply lack capacity. The regulations for these installations are varying from state to state.

With a Grid Connected System you Sell power to the Utility Company

Grid connected systems are will not help you in case of a blackout. The inverter shuts down within a second when grid power drops below a certain minimum.

This might seem a nuance at first but imagine the electrical engineer feelings. He assumes to be working on powerless grid. Then the sun rises and you and you neighbors start to feed the system he is working on with electrical power.

If we ignore the feelings of our electrical engineer there is an additiona even bigger problem, namely your solar panels are working as a public power plant. This grid is designed in a way that when a shortage in one area occurs the extra demand for power will be shared among the other grid supplying generators.

When the main supplier of electricity is off-line, you and a few others will get the full load of the whole grid on your system.And believe me you won't be able to feed the Bay Area from your rooftop. In practical terms this means that the system short circuits.

Endless Possibilities

Apart from these apparent difficulties Solar, Wind and Motion energy are truly a truly free never ending always available sources of energy.

The sunlight that reaches the earth everyday is equal to 10,000 times the energy we need worldwide today. This is the suns direct radiation alone. And does not include wind, tidal hydro or motion energy.

This is such a vast playing field filled with opportunities to investors, companies, workers and entrepreneurs. It will inevitably gain an enormous momentum. There is much to gain here!!
