Growing Solar Power system - Concentrator



Hi again ! Well after adding the 2000watt inverter, and the extra 250Ah batteries I had to add more WATTS to the PV! .... Pictured to the left are the 3 new Concentrator MicroPV Solar panels. Each is rated at 36 Watts. so in the real world we have about 120 WATTS with the 4 PV's seen here. O yeah there much bigger then you may think haha being around 5 foot long each. The small blue one is 38" tall and is sitting almost directly next to the new ones for scale. I'll be adding yet more panels in the next month (or maybe even a wind turbine 400WATTS) I hope to be completely free of the grid within the next 6 to 9 months!!! I feel great about helping the planet by not using the dirty energy that is made by most major energy Co. . Next on the list is going to an electric or fuel cell car. CYA 4 Now!
