Off Grid Renewable Energy Solar Wind Setup Part1

Nov 28th, 2008 by Mr.Burton

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 $6,000 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.

    Five stars, man, thumbs up. I notice that your batteries are not in a vented box; is it not necessary to contain the hydrogen (which I realize is the lightest of gases and therefore gone before you know it, but Other People recommend isolation)?
