Hey , I saw your post about solar power.. I have just started researching this and am looking for any info I can get...
I am an electrican, so I understand alot, but not when it comes to DC.
I have learned how to constuct the panels, and connect to the batteries, but where it gets confusing is what kind of inverter I will need.
Id like to be able to run at least 3000watts, more if possible.
Is it easier to just use multiple inverters at the same time, or is buying one big one the way to go?
I was about to order a DIY guide, but have read its a scam and all the info can be found for free...
Is there any info it the guide you mentioned you are willing to share?
Can you maybe help a brother out, and just email me the PDF book? Ill owe you big time... and ill help provide kleen energy to ppl who need it once I know what im doing. my email is augustwest@cyber-rights.net
I am really serious about learning this technology, as i want to eventually get off the grid. Thanks , and if you cant do it, any advice is still greatly appreciated. You said youve hooked up 10 systems, what did you use to go from DC to AC? which models, how much did they cost, and how many watts could you crank out at one time, assuming bright sunny weather?
Hey Alan, well its was going great, but I got a call of help from my sister (surgery) so I had to come back and get her through this. After she is getting around on her own again and we get the gas funds built back up we hope to be truckin our way back out there! Im glad you enjoyed the road trip pics. we really had a good time 6 days to get there and only 3 to get back haha how bout that! The van made a great motel cant beat FREE!! lol
take care man, keep in touch!~Tori
It is a bit under 150 ft. The main problem with getting water from the river is keeping whatever kind of pump you create there when the river floods. It comes down pretty hard and fast.
Have you decided to settle in Central America? Seeing what is happening to our country now, how does it influence your thinking re where to go or to live out the coming changes?
Hope you're doing OK, finding work after the RR job ended, and staying healthy and happy, hermano!

We are right off IH-10 Between Junction and Sonora. The North West edge of the TX Hill country on the North Llano river. 30 mi from either (small) town but not really far from anywhere because of the highway.
Meant to type 'reading the blog' instead of 'ready' it would be nice if you could go back and edit comments; suppose it's like writing in pen, encourages the confidence to not make mistakes.
Fascinating stuff; What type of barrel did you find most efficient for warming the greenhouse? I suppose this would be stuff best placed in a discussion so the thread can be followed easier; I would also be interested in learning more about the earth walls, any pictures available?
as an old deadhea d you may be interested in ready the blog I just posted. I caught wind of one of the surviving members currently on a percussion tour, full stage setup.
Good to see others are currently active with projects like yours.
you mention 'passive solar work,' does that refer to directly utilizing the suns energy as opposed to collecting it with solar paneling? I ask because a new company just began in my hometown building solar panels and I find it intriguing; I have done a little bit of research into windmills and would like to find out more about cleaner energy sources/storage's.
We looked at this link and essentially put our reply on the conversation thread "Places Ideas and Wills". Thanks for reaching out to include us in the conversations that matter to you. Llyn
Thank you; that was very interesting! Looks like that "someday" has arrived, ya know what i mean?
Methinks we had best keep an ever-lower profile...the only freedom left in this country is outside the law. Is THIS what Waylon & Willie meant by "outlaw"? Gettin' to where just to be an honest farmer means you hafta be outside the gestapo's radar screen.

Hi Alan, thanks for the welcome. I'll be writing up some info shortly to share. Been to 2 Rainbow Nationals, hosted Katuah Family Spring Council in SC a few yrs ago. Been to many councils and helped Bliss Kitchen in PA 1999 Natl. Many of my clan were with me there. Weeeeeeeeee Love Youuuuuuuu !!! :)
Yeah, you need a Cream Draft horse...glad to sell you a couple reasonable! Only trouble is, I bet there's a shortage of pasture and livery stables in your area...:-)
It's interesting how, in most cases, the organized religions have become the voice for the status quo. They keep "the masses" numbed down and staying plugged into their sheep-like lives. Do a search for Acts 4, 32-35 on the internet and you will find very little examples of church ministers giving sermons encouraging everyone to step out of the buy/sell paradigm of our current age. It's true that "Anatomy of Sharing" can be a bit strident or even preachy. That was my first reaction too when Chris shared it with me. We waited for a long time before posting it because we know it could use some polishing or softening to make it easier for people to hear its core message. Maybe that's what you will bring as an offering. We don't have much energy for debate but if you can find a way to articulate the essence of it in a way that makes it easier for people to hear, we would welcome your input. Blessings on your day, Llyn (And Chris) P.S. Can you tell us what "LOL" means?
