Very cool Tuicemen,
This is kinda off topic. You had noted earlier that you use wind as well. My question is how much of your place does the solar run? And if you don't mind me asking. Your square footage? I live in Florida and have been thinking getting into solar. But so far Ive been hearing prices of 30 to 40 (to get off grid). I think 12 would be well worth it. The generator (whole house) Ive been looking at is around 9. But then you have to have a propane tank and then insurance goes up bla..bla..bla. Anyway any info you care to pass along on this issue would be appreciated. thanks
Thanks
tinnman357The whole house runs off solar via a 2400 watt, 4000 watt surge inverter.
The wind generator just acts as a secondary means of charging the battery bank (cloudy days)
The home (cottage) is roughly 2000 sq but size isn't a factor.
For more info check out
Wardenclyffe Tower I have posted pics there as well as some info!
Any further questions on alertate energy I'll be happy to answer there!

The good thing about solar is you can always expand on your existing settup as I have!
