The above is a demonstration of a basic solar/wind/generator power system that clearly shows how components can be assembled together.To build a scalable solar system for beginners, you will start with solar panels, charging controllers, battery packs, and power inverters.You can add additional solar panels, batteries, wind turbines and backup generators later...Installing a small solar system for your home as a backup power is not as difficult as you think.It's not as expensive as you think.Don't let the lack of technical knowledge or money stop you from starting your off-grid dream!Don't be fooled and have a big layout in your pocket.You can do it yourself, and you can do it easily and cheaply.This basic scalable system is the result of my months of research as I refuse to be swayed by my desire to get rid of the grid.I am determined to "do it myself" and find out the cost of doing it.I find that not only can almost anyone build a basic solar system, but it doesn't have to be as expensive as most people think.Here's a quick list of things you need to put together a small oneExpand the solar system for your home and you can expand it later.It uses an 80-Watt solar panels, it can link to more panels if you want to add more later.It uses a 1500 watt inverter and a 30 amp charging controller, which leaves a lot of room for you to add more solar panels and more batteries.You can't do a lot of things with this little system.You will not turn off your central air conditioner and other major equipment.But you will be able to run some lights, laptops, radios, cordless phones, charge your phone, watch TV, and use some smaller appliances.You will want to study how much electricity your appliance uses and how to reduce energy use.When you go to complete energy independence, you will benefit from finding energyEfficient appliances may be more expensive, but it is well worth it in order to save electricity.Some simple tips: be careful with the coffee machine and they use a lot of power!The same is true for hair dryers!Laptops use much less electricity than desktops.This is a nice little system that can be extended to a large enough place by adding batteries and panels, and you can use it to power small homes or cabins.If you add more batteries, you need to re-Calculate the specifications of the wires to accommodate the new power load.Another addition you can do to improve this system is to add a kill-a-Watt so you can see the reading from your power usage.I found all the components of this system in one place.This will make it easier for you to get it all at the same time.But not necessarily cheap.The same solar panels are available at lower prices elsewhere!) I saved you the work of learning the charging controller and the inverter size.Don't get smaller.These are too big for this system.It won't hurt anything.But that way, you don't have to go out and buy bigger ones when you expand your system.If you make these things too small, you will have a problem.Do the right thing from the beginning.Then you just need to add more panels, add more batteries, or more components, such as wind or generator, more inverters, and adjust the grouping of batteries, and measure the line to adapt to the adjustment of the amplifier difference.When you start doing this, you will learn more ways to improve your system and add more things to it to make it more efficient and powerful.What's in the solar suite?Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels-12 v Deep Cycle Marine/RV battery-Solar Charging Controller12v -Power Inverter 240 v-* 12 v 80 amp/hour battery stores 960 W/hour power (12x80 = 960 ).*960 / 2.* 384/15 days = 25 days.http://www.ccis.Com/home/mnemeth/12 V.Microwave 150-electric blanket 65013 \ "Color TV 50 3 hours.Satellite Receiver 20 3 hours.Computer/monitor 125 2 hours.Coffee machine 1250 20 minutes 417 41.Microwave 1000 15 minutes.Mixer 300 fridge (20 cf.CD player 35 sewing machine 100-Ceiling fan 10-75 Table fan 1-Clock Radio 1 toaster 800-Coffee machine 800Computer 80-Dishwasher 1200-Dryer (elec.4000 vacuum cleaner 200-Dryer (gas) 300-Elec.Elec.Evap.cooler 300-Frying Pan 1200 71/4 \ "China Insurance Regulatory Commission.Blower 300-Hair dryer 900-Iron 900-Laptop 20-50 25W Comp.Microwave 600-1500 15W Comp.Printer: Laser 300-Printer: inkjet 60-Tractor Supply Company877 -872 -Hours: 7am -Five o'clock P.M.
