System Preview Video for Hans Kaiser, Central FL:
The large the vast majority of renewable electricity techniques set up today are immediate grid tie. Immediate grid tie techniques basically convert the DC of wind, solar or hydro to AC electricity and feed electricity back to the key panel to slow down or spin back your meter. Despite the fact that extra efficient, when the grid electricity fails on a immediate grid tie technique, the user has NO Electric power. This technique in this online video utilzes a hybrid grid tie with battery backup inverter/charger. (Outback GTVFX & Xantrex XW are the only two on the industry) The solar & wind will cost the batteries, when the batteries are complete, excessive electricity produced slows down the utility meter or spins it backwards. In the event of a grid failure, solar and wind electricity is however usable & battery backup will immediately get around until eventually the grid electricity is restored. The only additional value is about $900 as well as the batteries & cables. If you needed to retrofit a immediate grid tie technique to be compatible with batteries will require a new inverter/charger ($two,000), a cost controller, and a enormous PV array rewire. Or you can drop $5500 for the “Sunny Island” inverter that will get in AC electricity from an present grid-tie only inverter, then link to batteries. The Sunny Island is the least difficult retro-match for present grid-tie PV and the only selection for “SunPower” brand positive floor PV panels. If you want juice when the utility fails, invest in this (outback) technique (or an XW) from the begin. Please note: If you’d like to use a generator or require 240VAC/60Hz the XW is very likely a much better decision. These techniques ARE qualified for (US) federal incentives (thirty+%), and most (US) state incentives. My price tag estimates are for significant top quality US or Canadian created goods that will qualify for incentives, satisfy the Nationwide Electrical Code, and be acknowledged (by regulation) by your utility provider.
