Do you have a (stalled? inefficient?) micro-hydro or solar/wind project?

A North Vancouver, BC company has an innovative (the world's only) solar-wind-micro hydro battery charge controller that:

- Five discrete input channels; eliminates the need for a terminal block for multiple panels, or a mixed input(s) of solar panels, wind turbine(s), and/or micro-hydro

- 1200 watts maximum capabiity, 12V constant-voltage regulated output

- voltage optimizing to 12Vdc output, boosting voltage or reducing voltage, as necessary, with input(s) between 5V and 30V; this has been estimated to increase total power by 35% (better than MPPT tracking.)

- preventing any partially-shaded solar panel from degrading the solar array's output without the need for a blocking diode at every panel (only the very newest panels have built-in blocking diodes); this could increase a solar array's efficiency by an estimated 55% if you have tall trees surrounding your solar panel array.

- comes with Do-It-Yourself instructions for you to build (populate) a cost-free battery bank using "dead" or "ususable" batteries, as shown on CBC Newsworld, Ming Pao magazine, Global TV, and Burnaby News Leader. You won't have to buy new batteries for your battery bank -- you can get any number of unusable car/marine/wheelchair 12V batteries and rejuvenate them, for use, in your battery bank.

- uniquely programmed to charge your batteries so that the batteries will last 5-10 years, even though they were already "unusable" or "dead" when you obtained them, perhaps from your neighbors' discards; thereby doing your community a favour by reusing (recycling) their "trash"

- Built for backwoods, third-world conditions.

- With 12V regulated, voltage-optimized output, you will have no fear of electrocution (unlike 48V or high-voltage solar systems)

- Runs off the battery bank. No AC power is required

- Has a shunting capability to direct excess power into a water-heater; use this to heat a water pipe or hot water tank

- Designed by award-winning inventor Rob Matthies of North Vancouver.
