Get off-grid & emergency power from this solar briefcase & battery packs : TreeHugger The HANS Solar Briefcase and PowerPack systems do double duty by supporting the Billions in Change movement. We've come a long way in terms of remote and emergency power options over the last ten years, having gone from relying almost completely on gas or diesel generators and boxes of single-use batteries to solar chargers and rechargeable batteries for supplying electricity, and from gas lanterns to LED lights for illumination, which is good for the average camper or emergency preparedness kit. When I think of how many 'disposable' batteries I used over the course of my life, before I started buying rechargeable batteries and powerpacks that I could recharge with solar power, it adds up to a staggering amount of waste. "The HANS™ Solar BriefCase is a lightweight, portable, and simple-to-use set of solar panels designed for charging the HANS™ PowerPack from virtually anywhere on Earth.

Off-Grid Home | Solar Panels | Backwoods Solar Your own independent off grid power systems can provide most electric conveniences at a remote home site, where bringing in utility lines would be impossible or prohibitively expensive. Just extending utility power 1/4 mile or more to reach a home site can cost $15,000 and up, and that's before you get any power. Equipment to produce your own solar electric power may cost less. If power lines are not near your land, you can choose clean renewable resources, and boats and recreational vehicles can use the same equipment on a smaller scale. Natural and free energy already on your site in sunlight, wind, or falling water can be converted to off the grid electricity. We specialize in power entirely from solar panels, wind power, or micro hydro power, plus generator backup in climates short on sunshine. We Use Off-Grid Power! For over 30 years, Backwoods has specialized in off-grid power for the remote home. Our off-grid power catalog introduces beginners to the joy of making your own power.
(116) Marmot Living Off the Grid: How to Generate Your Own Electricity Our off the grid house near Anaconda, Montana Taking the Alternative Energy Plunge When my wife and I moved to Montana last year, we found a comfortable home on several acres with a view of the mountains. There was only one hitch – the house was off the grid. In fact, everyone in the subdivision generated their own power, including the bed and breakfast nearby. That doesn’t mean it was primitive. Solar panel with tracker Life Off the Grid The previous owner showed me the critical facilities and told me how to operate them. On our third night in the house, we went to bed as usual to the faint sound of wind outside, a sound we were already beginning to enjoy because it generated most of our power. Wind turbine I got up and went outside to check the power equipment. I had just learned the first lesson of wind and solar power: they can’t always be counted on when you need them.

What You Need to Go Off the Grid - dummies By Rik DeGunther Off-grid solar PV systems are expensive, so find any means you can to reduce the energy requirements. Most off-grid houses use a wide range of energy resources, in sharp contrast to the typical all-electric suburban home. Solar hot water heaters are always good candidates because they’re cheaper per kilowatt-hour than an off-grid photovoltaic system, and solar lighting systems are always wise. This variety can be an advantage in that you aren’t completely disabled by power blackouts. Off-grid solar electrical systems all use the same basic components, with other elements added according to need. Here are the functions of each part: Charge controller: The charge controller feeds current into the battery bank at the required voltage. Which type of current you choose depends on what you want to run. DC, which is more efficient because batteries use direct current, is usually the choice for small cabins and small power systems.
Diego Rivera: honoring a big fat Communist with a Google doodle From President Obama to “Occupy” protesters to the Muppets: The accusations of communism abounding is shrill. Skip to next paragraph Subscribe Today to the Monitor Click Here for your FREE 30 DAYS ofThe Christian Science MonitorWeekly Digital Edition What would they call Mexican muralist Diego Rivera, a true Communist, if he were still alive? Today Mr. The logo honors his life’s work, a tribute to the class struggles of his era. Rivera was a leader of the Mexican mural movement – he was convinced that art was excluded from the masses – and his work stands throughout Mexico. The most contentious was his 1933 Rockefeller Center commission, called "Man at the Crossroads.” His political message is underlined at a MoMA exhibit that opened in November, “Diego Rivera: Murals for The Museum of Modern Art,” just as Occupy Wall Street protests flared in New York City. Rivera was born in 1886 to a well-off family in Mexico and studied art at the Academy of San Carlos in Mexico.
Off-Grid Solar Lighting Market Is Expected to Represent US $2,294 Mn in 2024 | Oct 9, 2017 - ReleaseWire Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/09/2017 -- Sliding prices of components such as LEDs, batteries, and photovoltaic chips are prompting off-grid solar power product manufacturers in directing investments and funds towards enhancement of technology, efficiency, and durability of their offerings, states TMR in a recent report. In the fragmented off-grid solar lighting market, featuring few large-scale vendors such as Koninklijke Philips N.V., OSRAM GmbH, Total S.A., and SunnyMoney, and several small- and medium-sized players, pricing of products is a major determinant of success. Government initiatives in the form of tax abatements and tax-free loans are encouraging vendors to introduce highly cost competitive products; technology innovations and patented technologies are also being introduced at a rapid pace in the market and companies are launching products that can suit the diverse needs of consumers. offgrid-solar-lighting-market

What it’s like to use an off-grid solar-and-battery system in your home Many Hawaiian homeowners already use the off-grid solar-and-battery systems championed by Tesla’s TSLA, +3.01% Elon Musk and others — and their experience shows what hurdles the technology must clear to become widely accepted by consumers. Hawaiians are eager to do anything they can to cut their power bills. Residential electricity prices in the Aloha State averaged 31.2 cents per kilowatt hour in May, federal data shows. That was 2½ times the average U.S. price. Per kilowatt hour prices are even higher outside Oahu, and have topped 40 cents on the Big Island. Because of the state’s high power prices, real estate agents use homes’ off-grid generating systems as a selling point. With a solar-and-battery off-grid system, solar panels make enough electricity in daylight to charge batteries that keep appliances humming after the sun goes down. No one is sure exactly how many Hawaiian homes use off-grid systems. But off-grid homeowners face some unique issues. Initial costs Special appliances
The James Garfield Christmas (And Hanukah) Miracle Returns. Sort of This post is going to be crazy-ass hard to follow but it’s probably worth it, so buckle-up, buttercup. Last year my lovely readers accidentally forced me to save Christmas by making me let them buy Christmas presents for children who might not have had any otherwise. It’s hard to explain, so instead I’m going to send you to a link explaining how a giant, taxidermied boar’s head (named James Garfield) led to strangers donating over $40,000 to other strangers in what was probably the most baffling and profanity-filled Christmas miracle ever. This year I’ve had a lot of people ask if I’m doing the accidental-Christmas-miracle again this year and my first reaction was a resounding, “Oh, hell no.” And that’s still my reaction. But here’s the thing…almost all of the people asking if I’m doing the Christmas Miracle again this year are the people who were helped last year. Holy crap, you people make it difficult to be all hard and grinchy. Miracle #2: Toys for Tots. And finally…thank you.
