Historical note: Kansas Wind Power assisted with
the installation of the first wind turbine connected to a Kansas utility
company near Lawrence in 1976.Click on pictures with a brown

Home Electric Systems
for on or off grid
Make your own home electricity with
alternative energy Wind Generators and Solar Electric Modules (also called
Photovoltaic or PV). The PV modules generate electricity when exposed to light,
have extremely long life, no moving parts and almost no maintenance. Installing
a home energy system is within the grasp of many people. You can start small and
add on as needed. Many homes in the USA and world wide are already using wind
and solar electricity. They are statements to reducing pollution, waste,
dependence on fossil fuels and increasing independence and self-reliance.
Make your home, cabin, farm, camper or RV better and be more
self-reliant. There is always a risk of natural disasters and conflicts. Be
prepared with sources of electricity, water, food, fuel etc. A disruption in
commerce, no matter the cause, will catch many people dependent on others to
bail them out. Become more prepared so you will be in a position to help others
and not be a burden to your community.
Basic Engine Generator System
Some systems start out with just battery, inverter and
engine generator. The inverter quietly powers the house. An engine generator
is used periodically to recharge battery or power loads to large for
inverter. Solar modules or wind generator can be added to help charge
battery and reduce engine generator run time. A gasoline, propane or diesel
generator can also be used for backup power for on grid house.
|
A home alternate energy system might
include:
 |
1000 watt wind turbine generator on tilt-up
tower
|
|
eight 135 watt PV modules on a tracker mount
|
|
Power boosting Charge controller (MPPT)
|
|
TriMetric Battery Monitor Meter (battery “fuel gauge”)
|
|
Deep cycle batteries with battery Desulfator
|
|
Inverter to convert battery power into AC
electricity
|
|
DC circuit breakers
|
|
DC loads such as water pump, lights, fans, Sun
Frost refrigerator (or propane refrigerator)
|
This system could provide 3.7 kilowatt hours per day from wind
in a 10 mph average wind area. Solar could provide another 2-6 KWH/day depending
on climate. A small system of 1 or 2 PV Modules is commonly used for RVs,
campers, water pumping or as a starter system. An engine powered generator can
be used as a backup to power large loads and to help charge battery during low
wind and solar periods. Solar or Wood fired water heaters are a great way to
provide hot water and not burden your energy system. The TriMetric Battery
Monitor is a good meter to monitor the battery bank status for home, cabin, RV, boats and electric vehicles.
Small systems can be 12 volts.
Medium or large systems are 24 or 48 volt.
We encourage people to be more energy
efficient so their system can be smaller, cost less and reduce their cost of
living from now on.
