Building a smarter utility

[pacificcresttrans]

Having a Smart Grid helps utilize energy more efficiently and also lets consumers know the amount of energy that is being consumed. This also lets consumers save energy during peak hours. Pacific Crest Transformers is a transformer company which manufactures liquid-filled distribution transformers. It is also working on the smart system.

Most utilities will give you a hell of a run around even IF you get all UL Listed devices. You need building permits and engineers etc.. They have killed all this tech back to Tesla's day. So. Please. Grid-Tie WAL-MART devices that do not require the utility to get involved either!

SMART UL Listed Grid-Tie Inverters are here! ($250,00) 1) Hook up renewable sources 2) Plug it into the wall. DONE! Sell unused energy back to the utility (PURPA LAWS). MFG: We need real MICRO options! The inverters are $250.00...a solar or wind kit is THOUSANDS. We need WAL-MART home, lawn and garden options that look good! Howabout some hydroturbine water pipes for home w/Grid-Tie? RF/EM harvesters??? For what houses cost they don't do much.
