How To Build A Solar Power System

Solar Location: Hawaii
House Heating: None
Occupants: 2

Thanks for feedback! 2500kwh per month was taken from our biggest electric bill in mid summer in Virginia. We had 4 window A/C's running, 3 computers 2...

would depend where you live in the world,
if the government gives any rebates,
if you live independant of the grid,
Check your local pages for a solar energy shop normally they are happy to give a good rough estimate

One assumes that you are speaking about a house that is powered by solar source energy, and not a proper solar system, with a star and attendant gases and planets. However, this questions is under physics for some reason.

If that...

my warm greetings to you
my name is ahmed , i am from iraq ,i am an electrical engineer.. you know our hard circumstances , and i believe that sun power is the best , and i am so concerened , but we dont have solar cells here , my qeustion...

ahmed,

without photovoltaic cells you are going to have a hard time generating electricity. solar energy requires a lot of initial cost - a typical home installation in the US costs around $20,000.

the simplest...

...without buying a book.

Since this is Engineering, I will start by asking what you mean by "from scratch"? Do you intend to build the solar panels from cells, the inverters from bits and pieces of circuitry as well as the battery charging regulators and the...

I want to utilize existing power of stream if possible. Maybe a wind turbine is also a possibility. I'm in the middle of lots of trees so solar power is probably only available in winter.

Start with an Internet search for hydroelectric power generation kit. You should learn enough to determine if you will want to build one yourself, or go another route.

I want to build a solar/wind power system, but I don't know which product to go with. One deciding factor could be how much power each one produces.

Solar power is really only good for water heating and at that it will only get it to about 60 degrees.

Wind Power is excellent, if you have enough wind. You will need to get your wind recorded for a good 6 months to a year, to...
