Your Questions About Solar Generators For Home Use

admin answers:

If you can get past the hurdle of having sufficient wind and any local codes or ordinances then it is certainly possible for you to have a wind generator. You can store the electricity in batteries and use a inverter to make AC power for your use.

Unfortunately it probably won’t provide the kind of relief you are hoping for. If you want to look further you could try some websites similar to this one:

Yeah, but it would be a bit costly. You’d need a transfer switch and a fairly large gas or diesel powered generator. But the size of the generator would depend on the type of things you would need to keep running; ie – fridge, deepfreeze, furnace/electric heat, computers. You could also look into a large UPS (Uninterruptable Power Source), its essential just a big bank of car batteries, that , once the power goes out, kicks in and continues to keep your stuff running until the batteries die out. Obviouslt the more batteries the longer tiem you have before it dies too. At least with a generator you could last for as long as you’ve got fuel. It really depends on a lot of things. But these are definately a couple of common options. Also if your living in a more remote area, you may want to consider using an alternate form of power, like a wind generator, or Solar panels. Both could provide simple power for a few key items. Anyways, hope this helps.
