power outages and emergency power
The last several days, the power has fluctuated and through it all my solar power back up has kept my lights on. The beauty of our system is the lights stay on and away we keep working.

Insurance and solar
A quick interesting snippet: What is an acceptable insurance rate for solar panels ?
Insurance companies do not seem really prepared about solar panels: they often don't discriminate between hot water or photovoltaic plants, and rates offered are hectic.
Bottom line...call your insurance reps and get an idea of how your agent covers your solar installation.
This is one company that insures solar and wind: SOLARINSURE
Solar Energy Insurance
Renewable Energy Insurance
Companies, individuals and businesses are all being encouraged to re-think their power sources and integrate or convert to renewable energy sources. With the ever growing concerns on the planet using renewable sources of energy such as bio diesel, ethanol and fuel cells as well as alternative energy devices like solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal are becoming more and more popular.
This is a great opportunity for you to expand or start a small business in small construction and installation. To comply with law it is imperative that you have appropriate insurance cover.
This has meant that insurance companies have had to become 'alternative energy friendly', providing competitive renewable energy insurance premiums to cover these different systems including
* Risk Management
* Solar Installers
* Solar Farms
* Solar Arrays
* Solar PPA Insurance
Few insurances companies have actively embraced this need. Others have chosen to ignore these customers by either refusing to provide insurance cover or charging overly high prices for premiums. Not so with us-our insurance policies are tailored specifically with your business in mind.
Finding a renewable and alternative energy friendly insurance company like ours is a must-you can ill afford not to have insurance cover.
I do not push or endorse any company listed in this article.
Bottom line, start by calling your standard home insurance company. Solar Savior pushes emergency power systems so our solutions do not usually need dramatic alterations to your home. In most cases, our panels can be mounted by a bungee cord :) Right now as I write this article I am using my Solar Savior to light my room because we are having a torrential downpour. :)

A neat solar article
http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2010/06/01/mature-the-movement-lessons-learned-from-the-solar-industry/
Test, test, test
This weekend was fun, relaxing and also somewhat of a learning experiment. First, I am testing an extended battery hookup to a UPS to see if it will stretch the operating back up life of a 350 watt UPS. with the help of a local Batteries+ dealer we tried a 32 amp Gel Cell battery and walla a maybe 30 minute back up went to a 3 hour back up and I used the computer during this time period. next up a second battery and the hopes of a 6 hour back up. The computer draws about 250 watts.
Next up was cleaning my outside solar panels and freeing them from grass and dirt etc. I also performed some diagnostics on the batteries. Once again success and a solid 13 plus volt rating regulated coming out of the battery. at my office i have four lights all hooked into inverters and various batteries. My goal is simple, I have emergency power back up during virtually any power black out or storm. It is nice to know that when the power goes out I have lights both 12 volt and 110 and I can run my portable tv and radios. You might ask can I do this and the answer is yes! I sell 12 volt systems that can run 12 volt appliances for hours such as LED lights or small fans. You can check out my site for kits that I sell. You can also put a kit together with my help for specific needs. an example is a barn off the grid , you can depending on your needs easily light a 24 x 36 barn, I have done it! How about running a drill out away from power, I have done that too. There are many potential solutions for you but you must think about your requirements and know somewhat what you are trying to do then call me or e-mail me and I can assist you.
I am also now thinking of hurricane season fast approaching, almost every year thousands lose their power for hours on end. I say be prepared with a Green solution, no gas, no oil, just the sun and batteries and solar panels and you will have power. It gets pretty hot out there or down there in the south with no power, how about a few fans going for several hours, well it is possible.
Ok, more to come,more experiments to build, call me at 913-244-6132 for more information. Take care for now.
