Alternate energy, Peak oil, solar, economic collapse, 2012
In this short video series we will explore the basics of setting up an alternate energy system. What each component does, how it functions and it’s place in an off grid system. Designed specifically for the homesteader or survivalist, this video is designed to help get you started on your road to energy independence!
No matter what your preparing for: nuclear war, terrorism, economic collapse, market crash, food shortages, famine, etc. Having a working Alternate energy system can help greatly around your homestead or survival retreat.
There is one section of this video that has poor lighting, this could not be helped. If your looking for Spielberg cinematography, you came to the wrong place! We know the lighting is bad in that part, no need for immature comments regarding this. If you don’t like, don’t watch!

EXCLUDING the …
EXCLUDING the genset ($4,200) you could do this same system now for around $16K Not bad really. A lot of components have went DOWN in price considerably in the last 10 years.

Awesome setup. What would a similar solar setup cost today? (excluding the generator)

Thanks. That array …
Thanks. That array was (14) Kyocera 130 watt panels. Not exactly a huge array, but not a small one either. It runs a 1,500 sq. foot house with all normal home stuff. It “could” run a window type AC unit but that would be a really large draw as most of them run at 15 amps or more. Runs a Conserv fridge, 2 computers, TV, 5 ceiling fans, washer, etc. with no problems. The two charge controllers are necessary for the size of the array. They will be upgrading to an MPPT soon. Thanks again!

Very Nice! To me I would guess that PV array shown would have roughly just over 1Kw of output. With that battery bank and that large Xantrex inverter it looks like you can run allot of things with this for extended hours and on demand moments of high amperage. Frig, TV, Radio, Freezer, other motors (grain mills) maybe even some AC. Looks like there are 2 charge controlers- I would guess one working as charge controler and the other as load diverter.I like - Great video - cant wait for part 2!!
