This video gives a little more detail on my current solar renewable energy system which now has an Interlock installed. I’ve added 2 more batteries for a total of 7.9kW, and an Interlock Kit from www.interlock.com, also some additional safety features such as a cover for my aux outlet and a fire/smoke alarm which is not shown. The Interlock will allow me to power the entire house as opposed to only six circuits with the transfer switch. Using both the transfer switch and the Interlock gives me the flexibility to bring my office or other circuits off the grid during a normal day to day, and power the entire house during a major power outage. Works great, It’s important to have an electrician doing the install. The link to the latest schematic is below:

If you want to run your house on solar or wind power you have to start with getting your home as energy efficient as possible. I am running a hybrid system that incorperates solar,wind and a grid interactive battery backup system. The diesel generator ties it all together in the event of a long term power outage.

http://www.SolarStirlingPlant.net is a revolutionary invention that uses the sun to create free electricity. And no, we are not talking about the solar panel. This is a different solar energy generator called the Stirling Plant, it is a system that harnesses up to 12x more energy than the expensive solar photovoltaic energy systems. The best part about it, it is much cheaper to build than regular solar panels, and it is easy to build, meaning you do not have to have any technical skills prior to building it. The Solar Stirling Plant harnesses the power of the sun, thus it produces free and clean renewable energy and it works fully off the grid. This is a new method of generating free energy. The concept of the Solar Stirling Plant has been researched for quite a while, and now after the we perfected the design and simplified it to a point that everybody can design it, we decided to make it available to the public. The Solar Stirling Plant operates by using a parabolic reflector dishes to gather all the sun rays which are focused and concentrated into one single spot – wich is in focus of the parabolic dish, where the stirling engine will be placed. When the sun rays are focused into one spot on which the solar stirling plant is located, the temperature difference makes the engine rotate at a fast pace and create massive amounts of energy, unseen by other renewable energy devices such as solar panels or wind turbines. As a source of heat the Solar Stirling Plant uses parabolic reflector dishes to gather all the sun rays which are focused and concentrated in one spot – in focus of the parabolic dish, where the stirling engine will be placed. Instead of trying to generate power from the scattered sun rays like the basic solar panel does, by focusing the rays onto the Solar Stirling plant it is possible to generate 12 times as much energy than the regular solar panels, and generate enough energy to significantly reduce your power bill. A Device Which Is Cheaper And Vastly Superior To Regular Solar Panels For Generating Your Own Free Energy And Becoming Fully Independent From The Greedy Power Companies. The demand for electricity is never ending, and with the prices of electricity rising each day, the monopoly of the power companies continues to drain money from our pockets. Make no mistake the situation will get much worse, and the average Joes like us are the ones that suffer the most. Fortunately, now there is a viable alternative that allows us to take immediate action, and generate our own electricity by harnessing the power of the sun. Additional benefits of the Solar Stirling Plant are: The system is easy to build and even a person with zero technical knowledge can construct it. Works in all conditions, regardless of the temperature outdoors, and generates energy even in cloudy weather. It can eliminate your power bill up to 50% when implemented on smaller scale, and when implemented on larger scale it will eliminate it completely and you can even sell the electricity to the power companies. There is no need of any special tools, and the material needed to build it can be obtained anywhere in the world. The building process is simplified with easy-to-follow steps. Even a complete novice would be able to follow them. Several how to pictures and diagrams have been included to make the building process even easier. Up to 10 times more efficient than regular solar panels. Runs quietly and it is eco-friendly, it does not pollute the environment. The Solar Stirling Plant can be easy implemented and connected onto your existing power grid in your household, One of our main priority was making the device easy to build, so that everyone can implement in regardless of technical knowledge and location. solar, stirling, free, energy, electricity, power, electric, motor, engine, machine, device, dish, system, generator, plant, robert stirling, green, homemade, diy, new, news, invention, construction, generated, how to, build, building, make, at home, house, alternative, advantage, solar panel, solar cells, wind turbine, windmill, sun, wind, bills, simple, eliminate, work, efficient, off grid, save, guide, tutorial, free energy, easy, cheap, renewable, do it yourself, information, instructions

I’ve updated my system by adding more components, this is to bring various parts of my house (mainly my home office) off the grid. I now have dual MPPT charge controllers, 2 new 200W (400W in series) panels. This will give me 670Watts total capability. I’ve also included more safety features such as equipment grounding, and better disconnect switches. Safety is critical when dealing with any type of electricity. I’ll include a link to my new schematic diagram for any who wish to see a diagram of the component layout. Any questions or comments please feel free to leave a note or two.

Electricity is something that we cannot exclude form any part of our lives. The increasing population is putting great pressure on the system all over the world. There are so many countries looking for new sources of electricity. Solar panel can be a great source of electricity and meet the demand of the increasing population.
Sun is the most powerful source of energy. The amount of solar power delivered by sun is enormous and it is more than we will ever need. But sun delivers energy which also contains heat and water. We cannot use the energy directly to power a computer. This is why we use solar panels. Solar panels can help us to refine the solar energy and convert it into usable electricity. It is found that if we can build solar panels to cover even 1% of Sahara desert, we will be able to generate enough electricity to run the whole world.
You can build solar panels for your home and become self dependent for the supply of electricity. Moreover, as a member of planet earth, we have a duty towards the Mother Nature. We have to keep her alive for keeping the human race alive. Solar panels are environment friendly and you can contribute towards the nature and at the same time meet your family’s electricity demand if you build your own solar panel.
If you build solar panel for your home, you will be contributing in keeping the environment free from harmful gases. Producing electricity by using Solar panel can reduce the expense of electricity to a great extent. So considering the reduction in expenditure and the environmental aspect of solar panels it should be the first choice for any one. But there is a major problem when you plan to make solar panel. There is a handsome initial expense that you will have to go through. But most of the governments are encouraging people to start using solar panels and they are ready to give you financial support if you want to build your own solar panel. If you can generate more electricity than your family needs and if you are connected to a grid, the authority will pay you for the extra amount of electricity. You can also store the extra energy for using in the overcast days.
So there is no reason you should not try to build your own solar panel and contribute towards the greater good of our planet.
