Electric systems
have been created because of the rise of solar power
as a reliable and cheap source of energy
. There are now different techniques, methods and systems that depend on solar power
to run plants, houses and offices effectively. You should learn more about these systems to determine the best types that will provide you with the most benefits. You can choose to make your own or just purchase one from top manufacturers.

Overview of my DIY home solar panels and wind turbine installation from the roof to the outlets. Also, overview of the Reliance Transfer Switch wired to 120v pure sine wave inverter
. 98% of the installation was performed by me, so virtually anyone can do this if they just educate themselves, and make sure a qualified electrician double checks their work because electricity can be DEADLY.
I also include a break down of my actual costs on all the equipment and gadgets. Even though I'm a total rookie, I'm happy to help anyone starting out that's looking for some basic info, since I taught myself enough to at least install everything seen here. See my other videos for step by step instructions on how to wire the various components featured in my overview.
There are small stand-alone electric systems
that are very good at giving economical electricity. These systems are mainly used to power RV, lighting, backup power systems
, portable power systems
and cabins. The size of the array of photovoltaics or the number of solar panels
, as well as the battery will rely on the individual power requirements.
The solar panels
charge the battery during daylight periods and the battery will provide power to the inverter whenever required. The inverter transforms the 12 volt batteries DC power into 120 volt AC power. This is the most useful kind of current for majority of applications. The charge controller will terminate the charging once the battery reaches the full charge. The batteries will not gas out this way and battery longevity is enhanced.
It is recommended not to deplete your batteries more than 50% and 40% is even better (try and keep the charge above 50 Percent). You just have to have more batteries. They are suppose to last 10 years with proper maintenance.
In this video the man has two 45W solar panels
from harbor frieght, I personally have to have more power than what will power a light bulb (incandescent). (You can go to my solar page and check out a few panels. I will be putting up more as time goes by.) But, it works for him.

The grid-tie solar system is very useful for homes that are already linked to the utility grid. The primary advantage of this kind of system is the cheap price of utility. The system needs to be wired with an inverter that creates pure-sine-wave
AC electricity, which is needed for linking to the utility grid. Another benefit of this electric system type is the tax incentives. There are also rebates provided depending on the local agency and the state.
If you own a grid-tied system
in California, you can make use of some programs that will minimize the total cost of the system. Majority of the system usually do not include the battery storage that lets power in once the utility does not work. Grid-tie systems
are installed using battery backup power to maintain critical loads even in the presence of a power failure.

Pa solar installer Leamy Electric installs (12) 230 w Canadian solar panels. Showing the basics of the system and how even a small system can still make a difference.The cost was $16,000.00 and the customer will receive a 30% tax credit and get SREC as well. With the solar system and the wind turbine both combined systems will cover about 35% of their electric bill with plans in the future to expand the solar system, Using the new M-215 Enphase micro inverters
will make this an easy job for expansion.

This training segment is to provide Solar PV designers best practice recommendations when using the Enphase M250 Microinverters
in system designs.
The complete or full stand-alone system is very useful for complete independence from electric utility companies and fossil fuels. The benefit of the system is the capacity to provide power away from the utility, as well as creating a measure of self independence. The complete stand-alone home solar system
will usually have a couple of inverters to supply the AC house current needed to power very big loads like air conditioners.
An available second inverter will help make sure that power is present if one of the inverters will need servicing. Self-contained systems like these require an adequate battery keeping capacity to give electricity when solar power is not available because of prolonged adverse weather conditions. The complete stand-alone system usually needs 20 solar panels for safe battery keeping and adequate charging. You may ask an expert to help you decide between systems to that you get the most out of your investment.

Luke Williams, CEO of LJW Solar explains the workings of a stand alone photovoltaic system, as used in areas where there is no connection to the grid. It consists of solar panels, a regulator, batteries, an inverter, a back up generator and a battery charger. A hands-on instruction session at a client's house illustrates the details.

Thank you for stopping by and taking your time to read my post "The Types of Solar Electric Systems" Since you are here, sit back, relax, take your shoe off, make yourself at home and have a look around. Below I have my most recent published post, links to the other pages on this site. Don't forget the related article. You might find something that interest you. Feel free to comment or share, being new at this I need all the help that I can get.
Thanks again and y'all come back now.
