We have 2 Evergreen Solar panels 180 watts each, Tristar 60Amp Controller, 2, 400 watt Air-x wind generators, about 8 marine deep cycle batteries from walmart now. A 250A DC breakerbox from Midnight Solar, Xantrex DR-2412 2400Watt Inverter, and a Reliance transfer switch. So far the system has cost about $6000 with everything overbuilt to be upgradeable with more solar panels as soon as we get some more funding! More videos soon lots has changed since winter has set in.

Nice little solar system there. Mine is a little smaller than yours and im very pleased with it so far. I have upgraded a bit since my video, so please take a look at it. I do get a lot of encouragement when i see vids like yours. Greetings from sunny Jamaica.

What a shame dont leave North Dakota for sun. Ever heard the saying its a small world ? You could end up moving next to that PRICK. Great job every bit helps. The power companies are sending compact fluorescent bulbs to there customers. The PRICK will be sitting in the dark while you and I will have lights,fridge,tvand satalite. Good job keep it up.

Shoner to maintain the good job is not cured of hauls from RCEbooks

Yeah , they will pay for collateral damages. Never the actual item that that caused it. In this case it would not be the entire system, but the specific item. Such as a wire between items. Or a meter and such. Whats really funny is that the ins. co. would pay to replace all of the other solar items that were damaged by the fire. If you look at your policy, you under exclusions of coverage. You won’t find any solar being excluded from coverage. It’s not me telling you its covered.

Here’s your “Positive constructive advice”: Get the FUCK outta North Dakota where you can’t go out half the year and the women are shaped like pears! DUH!!!
March 21st, 2010 at 9:32 am
Let’s put it another way: Do you think it’s particularly intelligent to build a solar system in a region where 1) it gets to -40 at night with windchill, 2) from Oct. to May, you can expect snow, 3) Sunlight is reduced by 60% during this period, 4) It’s always windy? I tell my readers NOT to get crazy with this shit, or you turn into a crazy internet shut-in like “Boner” here! I think that’s pretty clear. Oh, and RFID doors: There is no crime there cause there’s no people up there! “You betcha!”

Yeah, that’s nice. I watch out for my own Solar Ebook buyers to make sure they don’t get into trouble with this stuff. As I have sold close to 1600 copies of the thing and never expected to sell any! As to your claim about insurance paying out: You expect me to believe that IF any of this caused a fire and it is traced to his experimental gadgetry: an insurer is gonna pay out? In this economy??? HELLO??? Are all the components UL listed? Did an electrician check off on it for him?
March 21st, 2010 at 10:26 am
If you are truly worried about his wiring, then since you are the electrician, why don’t you leave some positive constructive advice for shonerboner. I have taken all the advice from my next door neighbor- who is a master electrician for 15 yrs. And I am bringing my system up to code. Not that there is much code for running 12v wiring and systems in your home.

It will take the entire rating of the appliance to start it, then it will use 9. 5 amps maybe. You missed to most important issue in all of this: The guy is not a licensed electrician and if there’s a fire caused by that, his insurance won’t pay out!

@ mrbuki77 I know some enough not to use Chinese batteries from Walmart, like รจ that genius?
March 21st, 2010 at 12:29 pm
@mrbuki77 Yeah, I’m waiting for a wind storm to wash my grundies. There’s a plan! This boy is NEVER going to see a woman NAKED up there in his life, unless he brought one with him.
March 21st, 2010 at 12:37 pm
By the way it only takes about 9. 5amps to run a washing machine at 120volts. So your system can clearly do this without a hitch. Especially during a wind storm. I like your setup. Keep up the excellent work. How many watts do you have in PV, and how many amps total for wind? Check out my home setup if you’d like. Later from sunny FL

March 21st, 2010 at 3:24 pm
yeah, here’s a COMMENT: show us ANY major appliance running off this stuff! ND is the CHEAPEST utility service in the USA and you are worried about ‘peak oil” which if it ACTUALLY HAPPENED, there would be NO service coming to you, no food in any store, no society and total anarchy! Your energy and efforts are completely misplaced isolating yourself for a very LONELY life! I lived there, I know the “OH. . . . you betcha!” mindset! SHOW ME A WASHING MACHINE RUNNING!

Great system, very similar to what I use in Northern Ontario. We do not have hydro, using a diesel generator when there is no sun, or when we need to use heavy equipment.
