Get *the* Best Wind & Solar Pak, ever, Easy Earth Energy.... Let me know how you like it!

We have 2 Evergreen Solar panels 180 watts each, Tristar 60Amp Controller, 2, 400 watt Air-x wind generators, about 8 marine deep cycle batteries from walmart now. A 250A DC breakerbox from Midnight Solar, Xantrex DR-2412 2400Watt Inverter, and a Reliance transfer switch. So far the system has cost about $6000 with everything overbuilt to be upgradeable with more solar panels as soon as we get some more funding! More videos soon lots has changed since winter has set in.

    what is the wattage of that inverter and how much did it set you back. Ilike to get a gride power inverter so I can also sell power back to the power company like my excess yet also power the home if I lose power and want to build one that will grow with me like how you are doing untile I’m completly off the gird and then my grid will be my back up. if you know what I mean.

    umm. no

    To ANYONE Watching these: If this guy is NOT a licensed electrician AND his mortgage bank found out about his handiwork (highly probable in Jamestown!) he would immediately lose his homeowner’s insurance, which is REQUIRED for the bank to keep funding the loan. Unless this house is fully paid for, he doesn’t actually OWN it as far as a bank is concerned! THINK BEFORE YOU DO THESE CRAZY-ASS THINGS!

    “Affordable Solar, I highly recommend”…. OH BROTHER! $800/180watts = $4.44/watt! Sun panels are now $1.98/watt and you buy them in JANUARY for even less than that! $100 for shipping: You got banged by $33 on that too!

    A good system but too complicated and expensive for the average homeowner I believe.

    Visit solar cabin for small use wind power and solar power ideas!

    Hey, you’re helping GAIA! What the HELL is that? Help a real person, “GAIA” couldn’t give a rat’s fart about humanity! God, that is the wackiest most stupid statement. What is it with you HIPPIES and “saving the planet” but God forbid if an old lady needs help carrying her groceries, right! FUCK the planet, get involved with educating KIDS and getting the HOOKERS off of Craigslist! This is all about isolating yourself and it’s actually WRONG from any spiritual “angle” you wanna view it from!

    North Dakota: the most MISERABLE environment man is stupid enough NOT to leave. Unless of course he gets his girl knocked up in high school and is now in Iraq or Afghanistan. The outlay for this shit is MORE than the house will ever be worth! -40 at night with wind, think!!!

    Think of the energy saved if they’d started the project in Spring instead of the 1st October!
    If he sustained and Eco footprint of zero for the rest of his life Mr Stroud would never offset the energy used the overuse of materials and machinery.
    How much sense does it make to have to insulate more external wall surfaces by having having multiple buildings!
    The people growing the weed were probably doing more for Gaia!

    I checked the Survivorman…and commented on part1 ..sorry Les.

    Hey man, Just wanna say thank you for all your work. You’re helping GAIA. Jah Bless.

    is it a sound financial investment?

  15. LcoolJfiveoh — August 1, 2010 @ 3:43 am

    do you actually save money?

  16. LcoolJfiveoh — August 1, 2010 @ 3:52 am

    it seems like you put out more money than you could ever possibly save

  17. xteaopia — August 1, 2010 @ 3:55 am

    RS 232 interface lead?

  18. jordansname — August 1, 2010 @ 4:46 am

    wind generators go to same charge controller as panels?

  19. czarsolarhydrowind — August 1, 2010 @ 5:38 am

    If you need an electrician they can help with wiring and understanding loads.

  20. czarsolarhydrowind — August 1, 2010 @ 6:23 am

    They have a built in regulator.

  21. czarsolarhydrowind — August 1, 2010 @ 7:19 am

    Hello, cost is a big problem I have a simular set up and would like to tell you my idea>Get a 12v lesson motor, 2x pully and belt to a harbor freights 10,000 watt power head then a small float charger back to the batteries. Im gonna try it as soon as I get the $400. With the pannels and the wind generator with the charger it should have lots of extra energy!

  22. Robperrie — August 1, 2010 @ 7:40 am

    hi,,,could you tell me where u got the wind turbine meter and stop switch boxes from,,

  23. mikedhane — August 1, 2010 @ 8:39 am

    what are you using for a dump load for your air X and your tristar charge controller

  24. fireseed23 — August 1, 2010 @ 9:06 am

    Amazing. But what all do you use the power for? And why not charge it indefinitely?

  25. mikedhane — August 1, 2010 @ 9:37 am

    cost insures your house doesn’t burn to the ground.
