Residential Off Grid Power Solutions by Gary Ashby
If you want to live off
grid due to concerns about the environment, cost of living or both, residential
off grid power solutions can help you know the best choice for you. There are
several ways that you can generate your own electricity and not be dependent on
an outside source for electricity but can still have many of the conveniences
that it brings into the modern home. Your conscious can be clear, knowing that
you are using pollution free electricity.
Today most homes that go off
the grid depend on either solar or wind energy for their electrical needs Charlotte

these systems have advantages as well as disadvantages, so be sure that you
investigate thoroughly before deciding which is the best for you. With either
system, it is important to have a back up plan for those times when nature does
not cooperate in providing the energy that you need for for your
home.
Solar power is appropriate for many, but not all locations Charlotte Olympia Kitty Flats.
You should have plenty of sunshine on most days. Extended periods of overcast
days, shading by trees or hills and very short days may limit the amount of
energy generated by a solar power system. The batteries used to store the energy
generated by the solar power system need to be recharged by the sun regularly in
order to keep the system working.
Installation of a wind energy system
requires about an acre of property. The turbine needs to be located about 100
feet above the ground to avoid interference by trees or buildings and to take
advantage of the prevailing winds. This system works best with batteries to
store the energy and provide it to the home in a more regulated way that
prevents blowing circuits of delicate electronics.
Hydroelectric power
can also be generated on a small scale. This power may be generated 24 hours per
day if the water source is steady. It makes a good back up source for solar
power systems.
Whatever residential off grid power solutions you choose
will make a great choice as you do your part in protecting our planet.
