Thank you. Yes just experiment with what you have and learn until you manage to find a nice home. I have a website on the Bedini motor here: http://www.thedoityourselfworld.com/ssg-battery-restorer.php And I wrote a book on how to make your own solar panels: http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/TheDIYWorl...

Thanks for the reply, Troy. You're living our dream, because we'd love to go off grid. But it's gotta be rough on you too. Winters must be real tough and you have to chop trees for fireplace wood and the wind destroys your windmill towers. And in the end you still find time to deliver inspiring vide...

I have several reasons why I still haven't tried it: 1-I live on a flat of a tall building and aside from 1 balcony I don't have a place for the solar panels. 2-My knowledge on electrici...

I will need: - PV solar panels (the more the merrier) - power inverter - batteries (optional) - charge c...

A 145w LED TV which is usually powered on for ~7 hours during weekdays and 12/14 hours on weekend days. The TV will be mainly sucking powe...

My last bill (December) was 248KWh. Since December has 31 days, that gives around 8KWh/day which multiplied by 3 gives 24KWh on panels only. Now, how about batteries? How much (rough estimate) would such a setup cost? BTW, most my lighting is already LED and the 2 TV's too. Oh, and how about startin...

Hi there. I know this is a sort of an old topic but I thought I might go ahead and recycle it if everybody is ok with that. My current power account averages 65€/month which means I am paying a total of 780€/year. Also from what's been discussed here I know that this setup is worth 5000$ but without...
