5kw Wind Turbine

Wind Energy

Many people in the U.K are investing in wind energy technologies in addition or as an alternative to Solar Power. This is a positive step as wind energy is a key part of the UK’s future energy growth and the governments plan to reduce carbon emissions.  40% of all the wind energy in Europe blows over the UK, making it an ideal country for small domestic Turbines.

Where you live can be a big decider on whether you can implement an efficient renewable energy system such as Wind Power.

How do Wind Turbines work?

Wind turbines use large blades to catch the wind. When the wind blows the blades are forced round, driving a turbine which generates electricity. The stronger the wind, the more electricity produced.

There are two types of domestic-sized wind turbine:

Mast mounted: these are free standing and are erected in a suitably exposed position, often around 2.5kW to 6kW

Roof mounted: these are smaller than mast mounted systems and can be installed on the roof of a home where there is a suitable wind resource. Often these are around 1kW to 2kW in size.

BIG TIP: If your Small Wind system is connected to the National Grid then you can make money by selling any generated electricity to an electricity supply company.

If the turbine is not connected to the electricity grid then unused electricity can be stored in a battery for use when there is no wind.

The benefits of Wind Electricity

• Harness a plentiful energy source: in the UK we have 40% of Europe´s total wind energy.
• Cut your carbon footprint: wind electricity is green, renewable energy and doesn´t release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants.
• Cut your electricity bills: wind is free, so once you´ve paid for the initial installation your electricity costs will be reduced.
• Store electricity for a calm day: if your home isn´t connected to the National Grid you can store excess electricity in batteries and use it when there is no wind.

Is wind electricity suitable for my home?

There are a few factors to consider if a small scale Domestic Wind Turbine is right for you:

• You need to consider whether there are large obstructions like buildings, trees or hills near your home as small Domestic Wind Turbines work best in exposed locations, without turbulence caused by these types of obstructions.
• You will also need to consider if your home is in an area with enough wind. For the wind turbines to be effective you need an average windspeed of no less than 5m/s.
• If your home is in a remote location away from the National Grid, Small Wind Turbines may be well suited.
• If you need planning permission. Small Wind Turbine systems generally will need planning permission.

Cut Energy Bills with Wind Turbines

Renewable Energy technology including Wind turbines can save money on your energy bills. Although the initial investment of these technologies can be quite high, in the long term they can be capable of paying for themselves.

You can buy a cheap, low efficiency wind turbine for as little as £200 to £400, depending on how much power you wish to generate.

More Info:

A wind speed prediction tool will help determine if the site you wish to have a domestic wind turbine installed at has a good enough wind speed its installation.

wind turbine load control circuit without use of battery?

Hi, I have a ginlong 5kw pmg (www.ginlong.com) and I would like to use it with a wind turbine to heat water by switching multiple heating elements. Following link shows a circuit that, considering my basic knowledge of electronic, does require a 12V input, i.e a battery.http://www.scoraigwind.com/circuits/index.htm I want to run this without any form of battery. Can anybody help, please?

You can use the AC from The Wind Turbine to also power the circuit by using a power supply circuit. The circuit already provides a low voltage AC input to the via a small transformer. Just parallel a simple DC supply from this AC source to power the chip.

How do I calculate the amps that are produced by a 50w solar panel on a 12 v system.?

I know nothing about formulas when it comes to electricity.

well, Watts=Volts x Amps. Therfore Amps=Watts/Volts.
So the answer is 50W/12V= 4.1667 A

15kw Wind Turbine

How To Generate Better Value For Money By Investing In Wind Technology

Small Wind Turbines are becoming increasingly popular in rural and urban sites throughout the UK.  While Britain lags behind continental Europe in this area, the introduction of the new UK Feed-In Tariff is likely to herald an increased interest in wind technology. Denmark in particular continues to lead in wind technology and renewable energy in general, with the target of 20% of its energy mix being met by Renewable energy by the end of 2010. The UK government’s new financial incentive scheme is launched in April, and 2010 promises to be an interesting year for those interested in investing in wind technology.

Economic Benefits

With the right site, a wind turbine can seriously lower your energy bills. In the UK it is also possible to sell any excess electricity generated back to the national grid. With the right wind conditions, it is possible to generate a moderate second income stream. An average sized house will use 20,000 kWh in energy (both electricity and heating) annually, while an 11kW wind turbine will produce in the range 15,000 kWh to 40,000 kWh depending on the wind speed at your site. If you live in an area with an average wind speed of 5.5 m/s or higher typical of most of the UK (check your average wind speed online), then it is likely that you will have excess electricity that can be sold.  You can check the average wind speeds in your area online although the best conditions to suit a Small Wind Turbine can be had in rural areas that are not too exposed.

Following the introduction of the ‘Feed-In Tariff’ scheme which has proven so successful around Western Europe, the UK Government will launch the ‘Clean Energy Cash Back’ program in order to stimulate residential investment in Renewable Energy Sources. At the heart of the scheme is a ‘total generation tariff’ of 23p per unit for all Renewable Electricity generated from small wind turbines listed in the 1.5-15kW size range.

Environmental Benefits: Government plans to cut carbon footprint

Currently around a quarter of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions are produced by energy use in the home.  In order for the UK to cut its carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 it has to source 15% of its energy from renewable sources like wind turbines.

Research has identified that there are 450,000 suitable locations to site turbines across the UK. In recent tests exposed sites in rural Scotland gave the best results. The tests were carried out using pole mounted turbines located in an unobstructed wind. A saving of 7,500kg of carbon dioxide a year was generated at these test sites. The majority of sites in the UK however, are situated in areas of moderate wind, therefore choosing the correct wind turbine for your site could be the most important decision you make.

Choosing a wind turbine

Comparing small wind turbines can be difficult and there are a number of things to look out for that will affect the residual amount of money you can raise from selling surplus electricity generated by installing a small wind turbine.

For example, the bigger the rotor, the more wind it captures and therefore the more energy it generates. The area where the rotor collects wind is known as the swept area, or the collector area. Another important factor that can enhance performance is the height of the turbine. The higher the turbine is off the ground, the better the performance.

Unfortunately, it has become common For Wind Turbines to be compared by looking at their maximum power output or ‘rated power’ in kilowatts (kW). The problem with this is that many manufacturers rate their products at very high wind speeds (usually 12m/s or more). This means that the turbine will only produce its rated power when the wind is blowing very hard – which is not that often. In many turbines a really strong wind can damage the rotors and so a turbine that allows you to park the rotors in strong winds is a wise choice.

It makes a lot more sense to see how much power a turbine will generate in the kind of moderate wind speeds that are frequent in most parts of the UK – in the range of 4 – 9m/s. Because these lower speeds are much more common, a turbine that performs well in them will generate much more energy over the course of a year than one that performs best in the 10 – 15m/s range.

how much can this turbine make?
Proven Energy 15kW grid connect wind turbine – 300V Proven 15/300

i think you will find that you need about 10KW constant to provide all the electricity for a single family dwelling…..you have to keep in mind that the biggest problem is the electricity storage…have batteries that will store that much for at least a week at a time during periods of no wind.

Most people are opting for a combination of wind and solar to make it feasible to come off the grid

China's wind power industry, excess capacity is really pseudo -

Almost all the media hype of wind power in excess of the topic, but this so-called “excess” is really worthy of our worry do?

    October 21 in Beijing, China National Art Exhibition held in 2009 wind energy conference, a reporter’s questions to the podium of the Han Junliang excited outraged – “You should ask the industry to figure out!”

    The reporter seemed a bit thrown by a pointed question: “At present wind power industry has excess capacity emerged, after two years you will be sitting here smiling like this happy?”

    I do not know this because a number of peers and the media, Han Junliang even though the “knock down the front teeth have to swallow”, or Huarui wind really did not feel the pressure of excess production capacity. A Huarui the veterans, he categorically denied the reporter’s speculation. And to that end, explains, “excess capacity that is not the wind power industry or the industry’s excess capacity, but to Wind Power Equipment manufacturing overcapacity.” The fact that really the case? After all, the SFC and the New Energy Development and Reform Commission in response to the problem of overheated investment consultation, intended to tighten the new energy behavior of listed companies and refinancing.

    As the summer of a sudden thunderstorm, wind power issue “crazy” and feel unprepared for all the momentum. Take a look at the numbers below it, except perhaps China was not “Kaopu” the real estate industry, there is no industry to achieve this growth: three years, Chinese production of wind power machine companies soared from 6 to Now more than 70, for supporting machine parts from dozens of companies grow to more than 200. Even if the competition has become a relatively adequate, there might be a lot of related or unrelated businesses claim to enter the field of wind power. The products of these enterprises are mostly host supporting wind power or wind power for the main parts of the host matching.

    Perhaps due to a lot of “optimistic” the influence of people, new enterprises regard the wind power make money as a gold mine. “China’s wind energy resources are very rich in reserves total about 32 million kilowatts of installed capacity can be developed there are 250 million kilowatts, even if the total amount of China’s wind energy to 10 million kilowatts, a development value of 1.6 million kilowatts and the installed capacity is close to 10 Three Gorges Dam Project. “These conclusions, I am sure will not be unfamiliar, in the past few years, they are often seen in newspapers, and let the entrepreneurs whom were extremely zealous. Therefore, excess argument has been popular until now, many entrepreneurs appear, and do not care.

    Several leading Chinese wind power equipment company CEOs recognize that there exists a surplus in the industry, but this surplus is relative, to achieve independent research and development of wind power machine businesses, products in short supply. Golden Wind CEOs Wuhan Iron and Steel, said: “In the financial crisis, because by the surplus and the combined effect of financial pressure, many supporting companies have lower prices, gold Wind Technology procurement costs have been reduced.” Procurement to those just a simple fan accessories assembly machine business, excess is a crisis for them. Other wind power can be seen OEM boss and a lot of wind power company CEOs may not be supporting such as Wuhan Iron and easily. Although the development of wind power is China’s long-term policy, but the Wind Farm’s construction is a very high input costs, the project is expected to be in a huge cake and can not be fulfilled soon. At present, together with wind power market in China, foreign-funded enterprises fight for the throne, in the wind power industrial chain to make money on this enterprise group seemed a bit inflated and bloated in!

    Merely to show the fans supporting the field of signs of excess, but it has given a lot of upset in the media. Really put the idea of excess, however, do?

Equipping Home with Wind Generated Power How to Begin?

I am considering equipping a home in West Texas (11 acres of land, plenty of room) with Wind Powered Generators in order to provide electricity to the property. Where does one begin? Can Windmills generate enough power to run the home, how is the A/C tied into the home and the feed fro the power company? Any thoughts? Thanks.

Check out awea’s website http://www.awea.org/faq/rsdntqa.html.

This shoudl start you in the right place. I know the initial investment for a 10 kw Turbine is around $15,000. When you generate more power than you need, the electric company will use it and pay you for it (not nearly as much, though, as you would pay for their electricity). Plan on purchasing batteries to store excess energy as well for times when it’s less windy or plan on still having an electric bill to some extent.

Oftentimes, people employ wind AND Solar Power systems to back each other up. Usually at least one is going to be generating electricity.

Choosing the right Solar Power Company

Solar Power Is an alternative to the traditional system of power we use in our daily life. Though at present it is largely concentrated in the rural areas and small towns and villages, it is slowly making its presence felt in large towns and cities all over the world. As a result of its rise in popularity, many solar power companies have cropped up everywhere. Therefore choosing the right solar power company for our needs can be quite stressful and time taking if we don’t know anything about it.

If you have decided to install Solar Power System for your use, you should choose the right company from all the other solar power companies that may be available in your area. Determining the size of The Solar Power company is really irrelevant because it is more important to know the experience in installing its systems and how well they maintain it. Also it does not matter if you need it for residential or commercial use, you just need to decide what company can help you the best. Determining the right solar power company requires a good deal of judgment and right thinking. In this article we will give you some basic and simple steps in choosing a right solar power company.

The first step in our how-to is to get the right idea about what good solar power companies actually are. We should remember that a company that is not so reputable will try to sell us all the expensive and useless systems that are not required or those systems that will not suit our homes or business. These companies are just interested in getting as much as they can from us. A reputable company on the other hand will advise you only those products that will fit your requirement and will also make sure that the same is within your budget. This advice should be totally followed otherwise you could end up in buying a thing that you don’t need at all. Good solar power companies will also advise how to use your solar power system to your advantage.

The next step in finding a good solar power company is to ask yourself that do you want a company that simply sells you the equipment and after installing it leaves you in the lurch, or do you need a company that will help you in installing the system for you and also provide effective after sales service. At first the second option may look expensive but it will be worthwhile in the future especially if you need to convert your energy system completely to solar power. Therefore you should also consider this aspect also while choosing a solar power company.

To find reliable solar power companies you can also do some research first. For researching, you can take the help of the internet and the search engines, where you can find all the information about Solar Power Equipment as well as the options that are the best for your requirement. It is true that you may not be able to get the complete knowledge About Solar Power equipment and its companies, but with the knowledge gained; you can rest assured that you cannot be duped into buying something worthless. These are the simple ways and means through which you can hope to get the best deal.

All over the world, people are slowly realizing the perils of using too much of coal based and oil based energy and are slowly shifting to clean and green energy. Moreover, with the economy being in a very bad shape, people are looking to cut down their expenses and live within their means. One simple way to do it is switching to a cheaper source of energy and spending less money on electric bills.

One of the simplest ways to create Wind Power At Home is installing Wind Turbines. By setting up a Small Scale Wind Turbine in your home, you can generate electricity without any hassles. As a result, you can cut down your electric bill drastically and save lots of money.

• If you are looking for Domestic Wind Turbines, you have two choices – mast mounted turbines and roof mounted turbines. The former is free standing and installed in an exposed position and the latter is installed on the rooftop.

• For people who are looking for ways to create wind power at home, there are a lot of choices available. In most cases, a wind turbine rated in the 5 – 15 KW range is considered the best choice for residential purpose.

• You can go for complete turnkey installations that do not require any effort on your part. The dealer usually does everything for you. If you want to save the installation costs, you can purchase the turbine directly from the factory and install it yourself.

• The initial costs of buying and setting up a small scale wind turbine could be a few thousand dollars. However, it is not an expense, but an investment. With this kind of cheap source of energy, you will be able to save lots of money every month and you can easily recoup the investment in five to ten years. After that, the turbine will continue to generate electricity absolutely free of cost. So, it can save you a lot of money in the long run.

• If you are looking for cheaper ways to create wind power at home, you can also try building a Domestic Wind Turbine yourself. It you have the technical know-how, you can easily build one as there are a large number of technical guides available today that can teach you to Build A Wind Turbine at home.

• You need to get permission from your local authority before setting up Small Scale Wind Turbines. So, get in touch with your local authorities to get more information on this issue.

• Domestic wind turbines have a long life. They can last up to 20 years. The best part of course is that they do not require any sort of maintenance. They operate completely automatically without any human intervention. So, there are no ongoing expenses involved at all. This is the main reason why setting up small scale wind turbines is considered one of the best ways to create wind power at home.

Now Pay Close Attention Here-

Are you seriously looking for a proven way to save money on your electricity bills? There is a Guide which will help you to Build wind power at home. You will be surprised to know that how easy it is to Build a Windmill at Home, that will not only save your money but you will help in cleaning the environment. Check the Guide

Europe’s Largest Wind Farm

In 2007, the European Union pledged to significantly reduce carbon emissions by 2020. To further this goal, European countries have agreed to produce 20% of their energy from renewable sources such as Wind Farms and Solar Energy. Sweden has the most ambitious clean energy target in the European Union. It seeks to produce 50% of its energy from renewable sources, including Europe’s largest wind farm, within the next ten years.

There are currently six operational wind farms in Sweden and more in the development phase. The largest proposed project is a series of wind farms to be built in a secluded 175 square mile area in Markbygden in Northern Sweden. The region has excellent wind conditions. The Turbines would be built near three existing power lines which can be utilized to distribute the generated electricity. The Markgygden wind farm would include over 1000 Wind Turbines and is expected to generate 10 terawatt (10 trillion watts) hours per year. It will cost $6.9 billion dollars to build and could be completed within 12-15 years. The wind farm is expected to be the largest on-shore source of wind energy in Europe.

In 2009, the Norrbotten county administrative board in Sweden recommended that the government grant a permit to the Swedish company Markbygden Vind AB to build the wind farm. According to an April 6, 2009, press release issued by regional authorities, the permit will only be issued if the farm does not impact defense interests, and fauna and forest reindeer will be adequately protected. The government will not make a decision until 2010 and, to date, no construction contract has been signed.

Seventy-five percent of Markbygden Vind AB is owned by Svevind Holding which has extensive experience in wind farm technology and has already received permits to construct other facilities in Sweden. The other twenty-five percent of the company is owned by the German company Enercon which is one of the world’s largest Wind Turbine Manufacturers.

Clean energy solutions are among the items to be addressed by organizations promoting the dot eco initiative. Dot Eco LLC, with support from Al Gore, the Alliance for Climate Protection, Sierra Club and Surfrider have applied to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) for an “.eco” top level domain.

the Wind Power myth exploded?

See this report: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7546466.stm

Wind power even if it can repay the carbon emissions of turbine construction isn’t reliable enough to actually take over from fossil fuels on a large scale.

The whole point of wind and ground based solar is that they make people think they are doing something to help the environment and replace fossil fuels without actually replacing them or solving our CO2 problem. But making people think that wind and solar are solutions when they are not means that people become willing to reject nuclear power which is a solution (those who realise that wind and ground based solar are essentially useless tend not to be anti-nuclear).

Getting Solar Power For Your Home

Environmental activists are always trying to change the way we think about the energy we use. I think is fairly safe to say that they are yet to completely succeed in doing this. Now though people are starting to find another good reason for saving energy and that’s that they can save money to, a true win/win situation. With energy prices increasing year on year more and more people are starting to consider the option that is solar Power.

Is the past solar power has been unattainable for most of the population with high install cost giving solar power limited appeal. That is now starting to change and here are some ideas that can help you take advantage of solar power.

Getting Your System Installed

In recent times getting solar power has required a fairly hefty up front investment in Solar Panels. This is now no longer the case, this is because many Solar Power Companies will now lease you the equipment you need and install it for you. This means that as long as your lease is less than the amount you save on power you are saving money all the time as well as helping the planet. There is also now another cash saving option to upgrade you home to solar power and that is to get a grant. Depending on where you live it is now often possible to get a grant for part or all of the cost of purchasing and installing a Solar Power System.

So How Does Solar Power Actually Work?

Well there are several types of Solar Energy but the two types which will concern most home owners are. Generating electricity through Photovoltaic Panels (panel’s which convert sun light to electricity) and using the sun light for heating.

So How Does Each Type Work

Well the first type (Generating electricity through photovoltaic panels) converts sunlight directly into electricity so you can use the suns energy to power things like domestic appliances. Most people opt to use this as part of a hybrid system that still allows them to draw power from the electric grid when needed. The second type (using the sun light for heating) usually makes use of green house style glass to amplify heat from the sun. This is often used to heat water that is then pumped to radiators around your house.

So Why Make The Switch To Solar Power?

Prior to reading this article I guess you thought that powering your home with solar power was the stuff of fantasies. Now I hope you realize that it really is worth looking into and can save you a lot of money. Why not have a look at your electric bill and compare it to the prices of leasing Solar Equipment? the chances are you can save your self a lot of cash. Also having a home powered by solar power will be a huge selling point if you ever want to sell your property and finally and probably most importantly you will be helping to save the world!

do you think the power companys will try to recoup there lost profit from all the people going to solar power?

Do you think the power companies are trying to recoup their losses. from us?
Because of all these people that are going to wind / wave Turbine & solare power?

If the demand for electricity from the power company decreases, the law of supply and demand states the price will also decrease. If demand goes up and up, they can pretty much charge what they want, except most if not all states regulate the power company. So the theory that they will recoup lost profits from those customers who don’t switch to an alternative form would run counter to current economic theory. If they tried to raise rates in a market of less demand, those customers will also try to find a lower priced alternative to meet their energy needs.

This would also work for gas prices if us American’s would learn that if we reduced demand drastically, the prices would also reduce drastically because supply would inevitably go way up and supply sitting in a tank somewhere isn’t making anyone any money so the price has to drop to bring balance to the equation.

Create Free Electricity Using Solar Power

Solar Photovoltaic Cells (Solar Pv) are effectively panels that absorb the sun’s light (which is actually made of many tiny units of energy) and convert it via a sophisticated system of silicon wafers into an electrical current that can then be used to power up your home, office or electrical appliances directly. Although not yet highly visible in the UK domestic market, solar Pv Panels are already very common in calculators and watches (albeit in a much smaller size). The larger Solar Panels are getting increasingly more efficient and are now used to generate power for private homes, large office buildings and other commercial installations.

The Planning Considerations of Solar Photovoltaic

One can install solar Photovoltaic Panels on the roof of their home as well as along one of the outer walls or as standalone units. Before setting off on the installation process, it is essential to check with the local authority regarding planning restrictions. Most local authorities in England allow solar PV panels to be installed on residential roofs and as standalone cells as long as certain criteria are met (mainly that the panels are not attached onto listed buildings or within conservation zones). Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, however, are still working out their local legislation. For residents of these areas it is therefore advisable to consult the local planning authorities before installing the Solar Systems.

Reasons to Use Solar Photovoltaic

There are several good reasons to use solar Pv Cells. One important benefit is the money saved on electrical bills. Another important benefit is the reduction in carbon emissions thanks to using clean energy. Solar Photovoltaic Cells cut around 1.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions every year. Since the user generates the electricity directly from the sun, they are not dependent on the national grid, making them less prone to power cuts. Although Solar Power Is effective in its own right, solar panels are highly appropriate for remote locations where the grid has no coverage (such as remote farms or research facilities).

How is Solar Photovoltaic Cell Installed?

Solar photovoltaic cells need to be installed by a professional installation crew. Professional installers must be certified by the Low Carbon Buildings Programme. It is not recommended to try and install the solar panel cells unless you are fully trained and qualified. The cells are typically very heavy and they have to be attached to a separate support system that must be constructed and attached carefully to the roof. A professional installer will understand the local electrical and safety codes and can ensure that the solar PV units are meeting the requirements of the code.

As time marches on, the world becomes more determined to find alternatives for electricity that are not reliant upon fossil fuel. Of the various Alternative Energy options (solar, wind, wave, hydrogen, nuclear), solar power is considered to be one of the most viable. Every day, domestic panels become more affordable and more popular, helping with the general battle with climate change and global warming.

Do You Know the Benefits of Solar Power?

The sun produces massive amounts of heat that are transmitted down to the earth’s surface.  When the sun’s rays reach the earth’s surface the intensity of the heat directly from the sun is not as hot because some of the heat is rerouted before it reaches the earth’s atmosphere.  When the sun is hot and it is summer time we think that it couldn’t get much hotter as the mid day sun makes your run for shade, but it can get hotter if it wasn’t rerouted.

Solar power can be hot enough to power machinery and that is exactly what was discovered over one hundred years ago when a man working on machinery wondered if steam from the heat of the day could be used to power machinery. He was right and thus began a new form of production, heat and electricity.  Today Solar Power Is being used all around the world.  The Solar Power is being concentrated into a solar source where the heat is used in a variety of ways.  We still rely on our way of heating and powering our homes but in the future it may all be powered by the sun.  It is cost effective to use solar power as the only expense you have is in your solar source.

In order to use solar power you will need to have something that can attract the sun and allow the heat to be concentrated where it can stay warm for a long period of time.  This is fairly easy when you consider all the knowledge and resources that we already have access to.  When you use solar power for heating and power electricity you cannot go wrong.

Solar power is entrusted in space shuttles as they know that this will help produce the most efficient energy with the least amount of complications.  The Solar Panels are faced toward the sun at all times in order to be able to power the shuttle efficiently. There are fewer problems from solar power than with other methods.  Even though there are days that there are clouds in the sky and rain, snow or other weather, it is still possible to produce enough heat in your solar source to create enough energy to last until the sun can come back down.  Solar power is in our future we need to be ready for it.  Right now solar power is only being used by those who are more aware and worried about our earth’s atmosphere when it is a concern that we should all be worried about.

We can learn a lot from the past and the way that solar power was used.  Every minute of the sunlight was used doing everything that needed done because after the sun went down there was no more light.  I don’t think we could do that now.  Solar power has so many benefits for us that we don’t realize all of them and how it is more efficient to use the solar power than other ways.

what is the relationship between global warming and alternative source of energy such as Solar Energy?

i am in 9th grade and this is a home work assignment.

Energy from burning fossil fuels (like cars, coal power plants, etc.) increases greenhouse gases in the air and increases global warming.

Energy from solar power, Wind Power, geothermal energy, etc. do not add greenhouse gases to the air and so don’t increase global warming.

Photovoltaic Solar Cells and Hydrogen – Free Electricity for Life

Imagine if your house could get all of its energy for heating, cooling, and cooking from batteries that never require changing. Imagine, then that these batteries were cheap and as reliable as the sun. Well, thanks to advances in technology, and the use of photovoltaic Solar Panels, its not a dream – it really can be done. It is possible to build a system that not only utilised the suns energy but can even work when there is no sun. By converting some of the suns energy to hydrogen, the element that makes up 75 % of the sun’s composition, its possible to then store this hydrogen for use in cloudy weather.

Photovoltaic Solar Panels and a stored hydrogen system can easily be retrofitted to an existing home, and many people believe that this will become a model for most modern homes in the near future. The system requires solar panels, storage batteries, hydrogen electrolyzer, generator, and tanks. Now this all sounds expensive and complex but it’s not, and it’s worth remembering that the end product is free electricity .. for life!

The system basically works like this. The photovoltaic solar panels absorb sunlight, converting its energy into electricity. During the sunny months, this electricity heats, cools, powers appliances, fills the hot water tank, and provides energy to cook. At the same time, though, 60 % of the electricity is diverted to an electrolyzer that pulls hydrogen from water. This hydrogen is stored in tanks, and when energy from the stored hydrogen is needed, the hydrogen flows to a Fuel Cell where it is converted back into electricity. Clean, simple, and very efficient.

Solar Power from Photovoltaic Panels?

I’m interested in installing Solar Photovoltaic Panels on my property. However, from mid November to mid.February we do not get direct sunlight because our property is set under a hill. Are there panels which work purely on daylight or do you require sunlight to run these panels successfully?

Modern photovoltaic panels do NOT require direct sunlight to produce power. Obviously, they will produce more power when in direct sunlight, but they still produce power under cloud cover or indirect sunlight. Contrary to previous answers, you do not need to have a way to store the energy (I.E. batteries). Most conventional systems are tied to the utility provider’s grid, and feed power back to the utility if you’re not using it all.
A bi-modal system, which uses batteries to store power, is only required if you are interested in disconnecting from the grid or if you experience excessive power outages. Bi-modal systems are, however, much more costly than conventional grid-connected systems.

Home Made Solar Panels – Residential Solar Power Panels Home Use

There are certain points that a homeowner should keep in his mind before powering his home with Solar Energy.

There are a numerous vendors in the market supplying solar panels and other related equipments. Before dashing into the purchase of the Solar Power Generators, as an intelligent house owner you need to inquire about all the aspects relating to the making of a Solar Panel.

A few suggestions to make your decisions appropriate are given below, which need to be kept in mind before you decide to buy the materials to convert your home in to a Solar Powered one.

Energy Consumption Wattage:

Various types of solar panels and solar arrays, which give out different amount wattage, are available in the market. How to get the right one depends up on the energy consumed by household. So the first step towards purchase of a Solar Array is to determine the average energy requirement of a household. The easiest way to arrive at this figure is to take the average of the energy consumed per month by the household for the past one or two years.

Efficiency Residential Solar Power Panels

The next step is to get the percentage efficiency of the Photovoltaic cells of different companies. The priority must be given to the Photovoltaic Cell with higher percentage of efficiency. But you might go wrong at your decision to purchase the product, which offers 20% of efficiency with just one-year guarantee. Its always better to go with a product which offers longer guarantee periods. In the above case, it would be better to go with a product, which offers lifetime guarantee though percentage efficiency is 16%.
Since the amount that you are going to spent on solar power generators are considerably high; it is advisable to do a good research on the different products and manufacturers as well. You can turn up plenty of information from the existing users as well.

Selection Residential Home Solar Panel Systems:

One important decision to which has to be made by the homeowner is regarding the grid system to be used. Solar panel systems are of three types:

· Grid-Tied System:

Your solar panels are connected to your current power source. This system supplements the energy from your solar panels with the power from your electric company.

· Battery backed Grid-Tied System:

The power from your solar panels are collected in a battery and used in emergent situations and the excess power is routed through your meter to electric company.

REMENBER to source out the correct package that gives you all this information as some do every little in the way of explaining the details, so be aware, Read  the SITE  carefully.
