about a couple in Ontario, Canada who live completely off the grid using
wind and solar power and a battery storage system. They also recycle
their water supply and drive a car that gets 70 miles to the gallon. A
great piece and worth a watch! Good information about "Home Hydro Electricity". Whether with solar panels, small wind turbines, biomass or hydro-electricity generators, it can be easier than you think to power your home yourself. Even selling electricity back to the utility who has been selling it to you for all these years. Home Hydro Electricity.com is dedicated to answering your questions and showing you how to buy what you need to make it a reality! |

| A valuable feature of grid-tie or grid-connected photovoltaic systems is the ability to connect with the existing power grid and sell excessive electricity back to the utility with a plan known as Net Metering. At times when you are not using all of the electricity produced by your system, your meter will spin backwards selling the electricity back to the grid at retail rate. These systems do not include a battery. Power is obtained from the utility grid when the system is not producing electricity. | ||

| Grid-Tie Solar Electric Systems with Battery Backup have all the features of the Grid-Tie Systems with the addition of a Battery. The battery can store power for use when the system is not producing electricity such as during the night or during blackouts. That means you never have to buy electricity from the utility unless your batteries are depleted. | ||

| Also known as independent or stand alone
power, these systems are typically used to power remote homes and cabins. In
most cases, if the power lines are more than 1/3 of a mile away, a stand
alone renewable energy system can be cost-effective. Solar electric modules
charge a bank of batteries, an off-grid inverter converts the DC
battery current to standard 120/ 240 volt AC power and the home can be wired normally. These systems can easily accept other battery charging sources such as wind turbines, hydro electric turbines and AC generators. When 2 or more charging sources are used, it's known as a hybrid power system. Our most popular off-grid option is a solar and wind electric hybrid system. This combination works together to even out the seasonal variations of either power source alone. |
