Solar energy – Off-grid solar power/electric/photovoltaics tour/details with backup generator

admin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:03:15 +0000

This is a tour with details of an off-grid solar power installation I worked on a few years ago. I go over a system diagram, show the system itself, and then talk about the safety features including breakers/fuses, lightning arrestors, and bonding equipment to ground.

This system includes 2100watts of solar panels, a 10kW diesel generator, two Outback FM-80 charge controllers, two Outback inverters, an Outback Mate, a Xantrex TMA-500 battery status monitor, and 6 4volt, 1104amphour Surrette/Rolls lead acid deep cycle batteries.

Thanks to Ottawa Solar Power (http://ottawasolarpower.com) for allowing me to use this installation in this off-grid solar power video.

How efficient and cost effective is Solar electric power usage as alternate energy at present?

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 10:30:07 +0000

What will be the cost of a solar system package for a small house hold which has a 500 watts load?

The question you have to ask is weather or not you want to be truely on your own or just reduce your reliance on the utility. If you are on your own your expenses go way up because you have to have the battery supply and a larger cell capacity to get you through a major winter storm where the sun don’t shine. (there should be a joke in there somewhere). The batteries, charger etc makes this type of system expensive. You would also want to convert to energy efficient appliances. On the other hand many people put in solar to reduce their impact on the grid. They cells they buy are just large enough to cover most of their load during the day or maybe a little more. Just enough so that in the long run their meter shows little consumption over time. Your local utility should also be able to give you a lot of help with the project since they want you do to it safely. Any power you put onto the grid gets stepped up to 12kV and so they want to ensure safety.
