How it works Direct Current electricity is passed to an inverter which is grid tied. The inverter monitors the alternating current mains supply waveforms and generates electricity that is phase matched. The DC electrical system is attached to the mains via this mechanism. # Excess electricity can be sold. # Electrical shortfall can be bought Intelligent people generate their own electricity and reduce their vulnerable dependence on an increasingly unreliable or expensive utility grid. Even a small system will “slow the meter down”, reducing your monthly electric bill while paying for itself at the same time. A larger system may ”turn the meter backwards”, so that excess power is sold back to the utility. Our systems are specifically designed for quality, efficiency and easy installation, internet monitoring and much more. Introducing the first truly portable hybrid solar and wind power generator. It provides solar and wind power generation in a truly portable package that is Military-grade, easy to setup and operate. It can be used for applications requiring power generation in remote areas, or in environments where the sun may not be as prevalent as wind. If there is wind, then this system will produce power, day and night. 100 Watts of solar power and 200 Watts of wind power. The tactical design of the system allows for rapid deployment and setup. Assembly is easily performed by one person in less than 10 minutes and the process is a simple "plug & play" procedure. Average daily power production for this package is 1.5 Kilowatt-hours of power, and it is available in both 12VDC and 24VDC models. Do I need a permit to use a Solar System at my house? It is a portable solar generator that does not require any approvals for use. It is a self-contained, turn-key system that is ready to operate right out of the box. Are there any Tax-Rebates or government incentives ? The answer to this question lies in the state in which you live. There is a great website that can be accessed by clicking here that has a plethora of information on it regarding State & Federal programs. OPERATION: How many persons does it take to setup a system? In most cases just one, and it is designed to be erected and functioning in less than five minutes. Disassembly is also less than five minutes by one person. Can I use the it to power our house? The unit is a portable DC power generator, and not designed for direct connection to your home's AC electrical system without a grid-tie inverter. You could, however, power select appliances in your home using the system. For example, you could operate a refrigerator, television, radio, computer, and other devices.
