DIY Green Solar Energy

How do you teach your kids where electricity COULD come from in the future? One way is to use a solar device, like the one demoed to me here, from www.changers.com. This isn’t just a solar device. It also is a social network that enables you to share how much energy you are producing — produce enough and you even get prizes online.

Update on solar and wind system Merry Christmas and all the best wish for the new year 800 watt plus put back in the grid i like it with the new panel angle for winter thanks for watching and yes i have a bad cold

Here I test out some old, unwanted Sealed Lead Acid batteries, courtesy of my friend Jordan, as well as the Solar Charge Controller that I got off eBay. But I have yet to solder my Solar cells together yet, so here I’m trying to MacGyver a way to charge up the SLA batteries to see if they are still functioning. I replaced the solar panel input with some rechargeable batteries that totalled ~12V with a 300ohm resistor, and surprisingly it works!! Stay tuned for more updates.

Just an update to show that even though it’s good to have a solar backup system, it can also be dangerous if adequate safeguards are not in place. I’m on my 3rd inverter after my 2000 Watt (Continuous) Pure Sine wave inverter “burned” out on me when I plugged in a 1600 Watt household iron (it was the Shark brand iron). I thought it was 1500 Watts when making the video. Anyway, you would think that a 2000 Watt inverter could handle it,,, well no it didn’t. It didn’t even trip the overload protection in the inverter. Just literally burned out. Link to my updated system schematic is below: dc415.4shared.com

My first attempt at making power from the sun. Seems to be going well. What we have here is a OSP 3000 watt inverter,Coleman air 440 amp -charge controller,and a 145 watt solar panel. 12 volt blue top optima battery.

This is a small window unit Air-conditioner and its pulling power from my grid-tie inverters using that power first and getting any excess it may need from the electric grid. This is supplementing the air made by the large unit just to help in cooling.

Can this case equipped with a solar panel really charge your iPhone using sunlight?

I’ve updated my system by adding more components, this is to bring various parts of my house (mainly my home office) off the grid. I now have dual MPPT charge controllers, 2 new 200W (400W in series) panels. This will give me 670Watts total capability. I’ve also included more safety features such as equipment grounding, and better disconnect switches. Safety is critical when dealing with any type of electricity. I’ll include a link to my new schematic diagram for any who wish to see a diagram of the component layout. Any questions or comments please feel free to leave a note or two.
