Very nice! During the Loma Prieta quake the power went out within 10 seconds of shaking. So a few weeks later I built a 12 volt battery backup system for my entire house using a trolling motor battery and motorhome ceiling lights. A Radio Shack 120 volt relay drops out when PG&E goes out and energizes the lights. The system has come on automatically maybe 30 times in the last 20 years. We are never in the dark. I built in a Shumacher battery tender to keep the battery (8 yr life) charged.

Pretty cool, most of my outages come from icy power lines or storms, so I don't need emergency power as much as someone who goes through hurricanes and earthquakes. I still like to have emergency things ready though. I have a combo of hand crank led flashlights and radios, high powered led flashlights running off of nimh batts, 3 big 12 volt power packs + inverters (7ah, 10ah and 20ah) + a couple duracell powersource mobile 100 units. That and a 3500 watt gas generator. Solar soon to be added.

Yes. I have always thought that flywheel energy storage has not been looked at enough. Too expensive right now to get a good one. Wal Mart doesn't sell them. LOL

Hey there,
I found a 24-part 'mother load' for you that you might be interested in. The real thing explained with nice, simple hands-on demonstrations. Enjoy!

Try putting your big capacitor inbetween the panel and battery with a diode going from the capasitor to the battery.
I can charge my battery a lot faster this way.
And the bigger the capasitor the better.
