FREE ENERGY OFF GRID SOLAR WIND POWER UPDATE #2
May 1st, 2009 by Mr.Burton
System is fully automated now. New Exeltech 1100 watt pure sine wave inverter, low voltage disconnect, automatic transfer switch between the inverter power and grid power. Nothing to do now but monitor the system and count the money I am saving. System now is averahing a little better than 1 KW a day in output. Need more solar panels. Have Evergreen 3 x 6 solars cells coming so I can start building my own solar panels at about 1/3 the cost. Hoping to build 3 60watt solar panels.

It is a 110 amp class t fuse DC. That is the min recommended by my inverter’s manufacturer.
No. The inverter …
No. The inverter only runs so long as there is 10.6 volts or more in the battery bank. Because of my Iota auto trnafer switch it does not matter what I run cause when the batteries are low the power is automatically switched to AC power. My low voltage disconnect uses no power.
Comming from your …
Comming from your batts. to your invertor is 12v DC. ok. You used 110 amp fuse. Is that a 12vDC @110 amp fuse? What is the voltage on that fuse,
Is your invertor …
Is your invertor running all the time?, whether there is a load or not.! If so how much current is waisted on standby..On my system the items that are on all the time such as the fridge are connected to the grid.
lights or tv etc are connected to the invertor but the invertor only powers up when a load
is detected . .my detection circuit does not use any current on standby..
Thanks. I have 2 …
Thanks. I have 2 Lifeline GPL-8D 255 amp hour batteries. Total 510 amp hours. I have 155 watts of solar panels and 1 Air X 400 watt wind generator. This is enough to charge my batteries everyday for use. I use about 1500 watts to 2000 watts over a 6-10 hour period. I used a Kill a watt meter for a week to get a good average. This is on average so far. As summer gets closer my panels will output quite a bit more. Also I am getting a lot more wind now and that gives me a lot of input. That help?
Nice system! What …
Nice system! What are you using for batteries?
So you get about a KWH / day? (I’m confused a little by your units.) That would be an average of about 40 – 50 watts coming in from your sources.
Your welcome.

Your welcome.
people helping people helping people. Thats how we will change and get the worlds energy needs without burning coal. We have the tech. and its not a lot of money to do.
mikedhane thanks …
mikedhane thanks for your advice
I recommend you …
I recommend you call a licensed professional electrician if you do not know what you are doing. You do not need to call your electric provider if you are going to run an off grid system. The Iota switch he is using is run after main service past main braker panel. One circuit is from grid and one from free energy. It only has one out put. Think of it like a three way light switch.
peace
Only for a split …
Only for a split second, if you weren’t paying attention you wouldn’t even know the switch had taken place.
Awesome! I’d love …
Awesome! I’d love to hear more details about what each component is / does as you grow your system.
Does the transfer switch interrupt power to the home when it switches?
Hello again another …
o again another awesome video just wanted to know if I can just hook up an iota transfer switch or if I need to tell my electric company .I hope you make a video of your DIY solar panels.Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
