    @RobertRFalk going CRAZY here,, I cant get it to work!!!! still trying! Thank you for the info.

  3. RobertRFalk Says:

    @WORRO01 They have a coupon online thru Aug 16 ’10; you can get the kit for $149! Add /magurl5 to HF’s base URL & you’ll find it.

  4. WORRO01 Says:

    Situated in my preferred. Great video thanks. Im attended and waiting for HF to return to tag the 159-169 price! Grazie.Thumbs up.

    Our Small Wind Turbine kits have both wind and solar as a hybrid energy kit. Solar never charges at night or on cloudy days. Wind power kits are a great way to reduce or eliminate your home energy bill. Most people are going grid-tied and making the utility buy back the unused energy made from their windmills. Home wind power kits can be installed on a roof or in the yard of your home very easily. Small wind turbines are rapidly spreading across America combined with solar.

    You can exchange the 4 AMP ATC fuse in the charge controller with an amplifier that can take several more panels or a wind turbine. You’ll probably need a voltage regulator for the current floating AFIX get from a wind turbine. . . . . but from what I read, the controller port freight charge can be more than 4 AMPS

    unfortunately to 45 watt arranges not to hold the step with single 60 the light bulb scariche batteries and the cells not to hold the step, I' v worked to solar energy and pu

    Man, this was not a review, but a chance to hear you free associate when you got wasted

  9. VivianRinSC Says:

    Also on our list of To-Do things. . . also the wind thing. . . more projects than time or money here. lol I’m really enjoying your series. Pardon me if I skip the Podunk news. I too live in a Podunk area and the drama here is more than I want to know about. lol. Getting a crash course for here as it is and don’t want to get it confused with yours. :) The way my brain works lately. . . it could happen. lol

    You sound like the guy who narrates the “Charlie the Lonesome Cougar” movie. :)

    Thank you for sharing your information. Have a great day!

    @ 929rr3900, to 1:20 the video, you will find that they are " marina" or " motor traina" the batteries. In other words, DEEP CYCLE marine batteries. They are previewed for 125 hours every amplifier.

    YOU NEED DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES

    @ NovusChaoMundiQual is the name of the shop Ebay vendeSolartech panels. I can not find under this name?

  14. GoatHollow Says:

    NovusChaoMundi – Don’t have a lot of cash to invest in this system. The objective is to have a few “cfl’s” burning in an emergency. (We’re prone to ice storms here). & maybe a small radio. I did wire the 120v portion of the system to break up the load, so that I can add another 750 watt inverter in the future. We burn a woodstove for heat, so a bulb or two, along with a deck of cards, will get us through a prolonged “Grid” outage.

    You may want to talk to locals and see what alternatives you have.

    così easy to ignite the fire. It appeals to directed vs to the DC wasted Inverter a bag to me of watt in conversion VAC. I too much run some fan marine for the circulation dell' air also to motor 12Vdc. I only must approximately 110 watt of solar paddles for these things of base. Perhaps the next summer could enter in irrigation solar system (games healthy of little deep pools)

  20. GoatHollow Says:

    Am wiring my house with a “Parallel” 115v system. Separate from the grid system. Will have 7 outlets on the inverter. I figure my little system will handle 4-5 compact florescent’s pretty well. Yes don’t mess with wiring unless you are comfortable with it. I was an apprentice electrician for 2 years.

    Snows here too. . . you have to make sure you have enough battery to handle your expected loads till the next sunny day

  23. jjjester123321 Says:

    i live where it snows and everything ices over in the winter, and that doesn’t sound like a good thing for a solar panel. how would i go about making a solar system possible?

  24. xINJUNx Says:

    lol very andy rooneyesk,i enjoyed it thnx

  25. mrbuki77 Says:

    Take a look at the system I’ve put together. I started out with the same Hrbr Frght system, and have upgraded, little by little. You’ll find that these panels actually put out about 50% of the rated watts. So out of the 45watts, you get about 22watts. This system is a great set up to learn and get you started in making your own power. My goal is to simply run my kid’s playroom/ home office of the system, hence I have upgraded the panels, charge controller, battery bank and inverter. Hi from FL
