Solar Power House

[juancarlosruiz1985]

Wow neat, What part of Puerto Rico are you from?

[MrEnergyCzar]

Great video...I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a video about it called, "Preparing for Peak Oil"....

[ArtisanTony]

you must not use a lot of power if 4 panels and one little turbine are providing 50% of your power.

What is that producing 1.5 kW

[Lanny615]

How is the air-x doing now, i hear they dont last too long.

[swindm]

Like you said they don't last too long in fact i just brang mine down because of repairs...If ou want to invest on renewable energy please do so but on solar panels they are very reliable and consistent in power output

[Lanny615]

@swindm I have a few panels and they are working fine. I want to add a wind turbine to the system, but not the air-x. greetings from sunny Jamaica.

[18upandover]

He did....

[TandemEgoVinco]

he did you dumbass, you clearly dont know what they are anyways

[TandemEgoVinco]

haha, NOPE

your said you couldnt see the solar panels you blind fuck, not the wattage or brand, please think before you talk

[jorgedude888]

SALUDOS!

TE QUEDO BIEN EL "SETUP" DEL SISTEMA. EN CASO DE HURACAN, TIENES QUE BAJAR LA TURBINA? LAS BATERIAS SE CARGAN DE AMBAS MANERAS: VIENTO Y SOL?? CUANTO ESTIMAS QUE COSTARIA UN SISTEMA QUE PUEDA CON UNA CASA COMPLETA (30 kWH DIARIOS)??? DISCULPA TANTAS PREGUNTAS, PERO PARECE QUE TE HAS HECHO UN EXPERTO EN ESTO.

[12643]

Ningún uso capslocks es grosero. 30KWH es mucho y cuesta probablemente mucho.

Pero usted puede comenzar pequeño en su casa con los PV paneles 60W. :)

[hawaiidoves]

Where are you located? With the coconut trees, I am thinking perhaps Kauai?

[swindm]

Puerto Rico

[czarsolarhydrowind]

Is it a 24v or 12v wind generater? I have 24v and need a cheep way to convert to 12v any sugestions? Marine air for a boat. Picked it up for the house. I like the charger very much!!

[joemc111]

take the music off and talk about what you have.

[willie32pr]

hola yo vivo en P.R. y estoy preparandome para hacer mi compra de un sistema solar con turbina de aire me gusto mucho tu coneccion y lo que gastaste por el yo espero que en P.R. se pueda ver muchas placas y turbina en sima de los techos de las casa como se ven de satelites de tv

[anluis]

Hey, where can you buy the equipment in the island. Aproximatedly how much did you invested in the equipment, I am spending right now arount $600.00 a month and this would help a lot.

[mca0824]

what is your monthly kw usage? Let me know and I can give you the best price going and free shipping. C-ya

[Lanny615]

do u have a vid of ur system?

[colongil]

Nice setup, you have a lot of wind in that zone.

BTW: I like the dog.

[rudly]

I live in New England area with "lots of snow 6 months out of the year,would snow/freezing rain get underneath the solor panels?

[SnowballPete]

Hello, I am interested in getting some kind of energy set up. I wonder if the winds in N.C. would be enough to benefit getting a wind turbine? I live in the Piedmont or center portion of the state. I am now using a gas pack to heat my house. It's like making a house payment.

[mysubsbang]

is there a website that i can find this equipment on. i live in a trailer house and i bet i could cut out most of my electric bill this way. or just how do i find this stuff please??

[flir67]

how long can your system run just off batteries if you have a powerfailure? nice setup

[swindm]

24hours +- depending on the loads

[miramelinda]

This being built in PR, have you had any truble with bats or birds with this small turbine? Electricity in PR is very expensive, on average how much do you save with this setup?

[swindm]

No problem with bats or birds and we do save an average of $80-$90 a month . PR is ideal for this kind of project cause we do get plenty of sun and wind during the day.

[Lucidtomr]

7,500 for the whole system? Damn, that's expensive. My inverters aren't state of the art, they use 'dirty' power. I have 2x 45 watt solar panels. My solar panel setup cost about 650$, my airX setup was a lot more, about 1,350, and thats the 29" tower 2x 12volt 35AH batt 400watt inverter lightning arrestor stop switch breaker. I use my solar, but haven't set up my wind generator yet

[swindm]

I have a xantrex sine wave inverter/charger with automatic transfer switch 2500watts. 4 solar panels 24volts monocrystaline 155 watts each.Charge controller 50amp with mppt lightning arrestor.air-x 400 watts and tower. 6 Deep cycle AGM batteries. DC breaker for battery bank 250 amps.Cables,connectors and panel frames. and miscellaneous.

[Lucidtomr]

I couldn't afford all that swindm, I'm from New York, and we have been in a depression since nov 2002 when Bush threatened to invade Iraq. Life has been very difficult for us since then. I had to choose between food or electricity bills. Just saving up for this took me about a year and a half, some days not having any food. So you see I couldn't afford all that high end equipment. I can barter energy for the coming global depression

[jorge25262587]

suscribe 2 me please friends!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jorge25262587]

how much do you paid

[swindm]

7.5k for everything .The most expensive components are the inverter and the solar panels.

[Wolfskrieger1488]

How long do you all think it will be before the gubment taxes wind and solar power? Hell they are now talking about a rain tax. Yes thats right, we will get taxed when it rains.

[RicardoSonia]

winds that older versions an a lot less noise in High winds. I kwon that because my air X burned an it was repair whith 403 parts and the prodution of power decreses a lot , than they were replaced by the original 400-x and the power output increses a lot again...

[RicardoSonia]

HI, nice setup u got there. But only one question are you shore that you got an air-x 400???? It seems that u got and older version like air-x 300 , if that is the case u will notice a lot of diference if you instal an Air-x 400 (not an air-403) the new air-x 400 delivers a lot more power in low

[swindm]

Im positive that it is an air-x 400 but for 24volts system

[kardrak]

250W per day or per hour?

[swindm]

per hour , 5-6 hours a day ...

[deviceone]

whats the real world output your gettingon that Air X? Ive been looking at em, they seem to offer a lot of bang for the buck. Also, how tall is that tower?

[swindm]

We get aprox 250W average it depends on weather conditions sometimes we get more or sometimes less but the average is 250W and the tower is 30 feet high .

[BigFlipFlap]

whats the song in the backround?

[swindm]

Dave Mathews Band - The Space Between

[greenmountainsolar]

al gore is burning 50 times the average at his house. his gulfstream V sucks more diesel than a fleet of busses too. forget it dude. its a scam. want to make a difference, check out my site or someone elses like it.

[BillJGates]

Nice setup, hope to see the whole house running on renewable energy. We need more people like you. Al Gore will give you a call wait for it.

[Amitarr]

This is really excellent! Continue with your way of thinking. Good Luck my favorite Engineer :)

[pcperson007]

Que bien que existan personas con inventivas. Aqui en ponce PR. se necesitan personas con inventivas para que mejore, te Felicito y que consigas que tenga frutos en eso.

[Nichen]

Awsome video
