Electricity costs are only going up in today's world. We are constantly hearing about alternative energy solutions and how much they benefit but make no mistake, there is a deep learning curve to this technology. You will greatly benefit by learning all you can about solar before you actually dive in. Even better would be to tutor yourself under someone who already has the experience at building solar and alternative energy systems.
In this video, I give you 3 tips when thinking about building a solar and alternative energy system that will be your own grid.
Any system you build is going to be expensive. There is no cheap solar.
1.Harbor Freight?
2.Components
3.Wiring
4.Accessories - digital readouts, remote temp gauges, extra grounding gear and lightning arrestors, additional fuses and shut off devices (not even mentioning wind turbines and hydro setups.)Most setups all connect the same way, (childrens song)
Use the largest multi-strand wire you can afford or that your devices will accept. Warm or hot wires are bad news.
Stay tuned for other videos coming out in the Making Your Own Grid series. We want you to be successful and profitable when making your own energy.
ENJOY THE VIDEO!
