This is an example system of how much power it will provide and the
cost. These are merely guidelines to assist you; we design power
systems specifically to meet YOUR power needs. We offer
a Solar Electric Design Guide and 150 page Product Catalog for just
$10.00 on CD and $15.00 for a paper hard copy --
a boon to your energy library! These publications are filled with
planning & system sizing data, calculating power consumption,
battery care, generator-inverter systems, basic component info on
regulators, modules, inverters, batteries; wind generators, RV systems,
and battery wiring, among other things. This will be a good
investment for those seriously considering an alternate energy power
system. |
