Grid tied solar panels

Monday, February 15th, 2010

So here you go, my son and I installed these Sharp 210 watt solar panels each has its own Emphase 240v micro inverter and they connect to the panel via the MC4 connectors, a piece of cake to do. They connect to each other in series creating a string of up to 14 panels in a string. At the end of the string you have two MC connectors which go into a junction box with a longer MC4 cable and from there to a service disconnect breaker. Then from the service disconnect breaker to main breaker panel and that’s it. I can watch my meter go backwards during the day, like clockwork (except when the wife is cooking or the water heater is on). We installed the panels in late October and have reduce the monthly electric consumption by half – not bad. Once I get those two turbines up, I should be close to near zero electric bil.

Friday, February 12th, 2010

We have heard a lot about green energy lately, but still, solar panels and wind turbines seem like options for energy in the future. But Rick Kleopfer of surenergy says think again. Kleopfer knows green energy is here to stay and his business is an authorized dealer of wind turbines. Wind energy is not just for big businesses and small cities. Turbines can help you to power your house. “I saw that could be a great thing to bring to Toledo,” he said. “Bring the green movement here. We’re on the bottom floor. We’ll be the first to bring it to Toledo.” Kleopfer actually owns Preferred Pools and Spas in Maumee. His staff is going through intense training to help you with any questions on how to go green in harnessing the wind.
