This video shows how I used the 45 watt solar panel kits from Harbor Freight and also their single 15 watt solar panels to create a array of 28 panel delivering 420 watts. During the summer and fall in Texas I can count on a solid 8-9 hours of good sunlight so solar power makes sense to augment my wind turbines. Solar panels are easier to install and require less upfront work than wind turbines. In this video I show you the hardware you need and how to assemble and wire the solar panels for quick production.
Fourteen Harbor Freight individual solar panels from their 45 Watt kits. They are mounted on 2×4 frames with seven panels each giving 210 Watts of power for all fourteen. In the next couple of weeks we’ll install the other 14 panels for a total of 420 Watts, which combined with the previous 1600 of solar gives me 2Kw of solar power. I also have 2Kw of wind power which I’m going to raise the tower to a total of 100 to 150 feet depending on cost. I expect the added height should produce 1Kw constant if not more.
www.solardave.com SolarDave: How much paperwork happens before the installation begins on a solar installation? Eric Bowman: When you think about a project from beginning to end, beyond just getting the quote and the information to the client, once the agree to the project the process has a project management component, it has a Xcel rebate component, or who ever the utility maybe and they is definitely paperwork involved for submitting for the rebates. Managing the process, ordering the product, logistically getting it sent out to the location. We also have a set of drawings that need to be completed both structural as well as the electrical and those drawings have to get submitted to the utility and in to the jurisdiction for permittings, so there is actually a lot of activities that take place we have a team of engineers and project managers and local operations people taking care of each one of these. The final installation only take about one day.
Solaro Day™ Install Part 1. Part 1 of 2 Part 1 explains the step by step process to installing the Solar Day™ 30 Watt panel on tile roof. There’s light outside, so turn off your old fashioned, power guzzling lights and plug into the power of the sun with the Solaro Day™. Start enjoying the benefits of solar-powered full spectrum natural sunlight in your life. The Solaro Day™ daylight simulator can be used inside your home, office or any other structure, on any level. How does it work? Starting out at the roof level, Solaro™ has designed a line of special proprietary solar panels that collect sunlight, even on cloudy days, and convert it into safe low voltage DC power. We send that power to a Solaro Day™ daylight simulator for use inside your home or office. The Solaro Day™ daylight simulator will create the same light that a traditional or tubular skylight creates but without the costly installation including the cutting of a large hole in your roof or ceiling. You will also be able to experience the sun up, sun down and cloud movement inside when your Solaro Day™ is powered directly by the solar panel, just as you would experience with a skylight. The Solaro Day™ typically requires only a 1/2 inch diameter hole drilled into your roof for the interconnect cable making the installation fast and simple! -Strong 25 year warranty on the solar panel and diffuser, 10 year warranty on the Opto Semiconductor and light engine. – The Opto Semiconductors used in the Solaro Day™ are …

6.7.11 (ANTHONY) — With help from a federal grant, Tierra Del Sol, a non-profit group in Anthony, New Mexico, plans to start installing solar panels on 20 local low-income family homes. Isaias Amaya has helped install solar panels on 3 homes in the Dos Lagos phase 2 subdivision in Anthony. Amaya says, “We had a family, their electrical bill started at , and now they’re paying negative .95.” Amaya is a Project Director with Tierra Del Sol Housing Corporation, a group who helps low income families obtain affordable housing. Veronika Molina Economic Development Coordinator with Tierra Del Sol says installing the solar panels on the homes helps families because it reduces their utility bills. Veronika says, “These families were families that were either 80 percent or below area medium income, and so they need the assistance with being able to pay utilities. So that they are able to achieve the American dream, and not only get into a home, but sustain the home, and also build equity in their home and in their investment.” Starting this summer Isaias Amaya plans to start work on installing solar panels on 20 more local homes. Amaya says, “We’re going so far to help the families even with their electrical bills.” Tierra Del Sol is also starting a green job-training course to teach locals how to install the solar panels so they’ll be able to work on the installation project. Molina explains, “We are going to be asking for willing participants that would like to learn the …
