Flexible Solar Panel to Grid-tie inverter Green DIY Save electric. These new flexible solar panels are very powerful and how up very nicely. They dont have glass to worry about breaking in a storm. During an overcast day and with the flexible solar panel on the ground it was putting out 15-18 watts with no issue at all. It should peak 124 watts on the house and I will update you guys as I install the panel with the results. Stay tuned for more power saving DIY Mixcat.com videos. If your interested in getting a flexible solar panel shoot me an email. All the best, -Pete Mixcat.com DIY Green Power from the Sun

http://www.EnergyBrainiac.com – How to Install Solar Power System – What You Need to Install Solar Power System in Your Home
Wondering how to install solar power system and do not know where to start? Realistically speaking, I will not be able to cover all you need to know about how to install solar power system here in this short article. I can, however, give you an overview of the subjects you need to focus on to get yourselves started especially if you are thinking of doing a DIY project.
Before we start, the topics listed can in one way or another be found on the internet. However, due to the tons of information out there, you may find yourselves overwhelmed by the sheer amount of info you will come across before you even start. You might also come across bogus information from unreliable sources. From my experience, it is much more efficient to go for a guide that not only has all the essential topics, but also has proven records. It also has to be easy to read and follow for DIY novices. Anyway, let’s look at what information you need first:
1. Firstly, an overall picture of how the system works and if applicable, alternative ways it can be set up based on requirements and environment. This is important to get you started on the theories behind the system. You should not need to spend too much time here. If you need 2 days to digest what the whole system is about, it is too complicated for you as a beginner.
2. How to get hold of the components. You may think that building a system to generate electricity from solar is going to be expensive. Not anymore. You can in fact build the entire system using parts easily available at your local hardware store. A good guide will teach you how to install solar power system with the best components at the lowest bargain.
3. How to install solar power system. This will include detailed instructions of how you connect the components together, bearing in mind the electrical requirements and settings, as well as troubleshooting. Let me say this again, it is absolutely possible for a complete novice to learn how to install solar power system and it does not take months. The deciding factor is whether you are willing to spend a few hours per week on the project for a lasting supply of electricity.
4. You need to track the amount of electricity you are generating with the system as well as how to store excess electricity that is not used so that you can use it later. The system is not complete without these 2 components.
Other topics that are also useful include how to install solar power system that is on-grid and off-grid and how to generate electricity with wind turbines.

Home made 10′ x 3′ solar water bag system for heating pools. It’s a stackable low cost inflatable solar panel system for heating pools without the need for a perminant structure, permits or home owner association approvals. It steals some of the water from a pool jet, heats in the sun and puts back into the pool. You can make one bag in an evening out of a commonly available heavy black plastic sheet and some common PVC parts that connect to garden hoses and low cost garden hose valves.
