Solar is growing strong!
Solar Sunrise: The Increase in Installs
Here’s the big – and bright – picture: In recent years, solar has enjoyed an exponential surge in popularity. While the solar market has seen slight dips or moments of stasis in some years, the broader trend is encouraging to those who wish the technology were applied more broadly. If the yearly count of installs can go from mere hundreds to nearly 80,000 in just two decades, just how much can the industry expand in coming years?Another interesting note: The deepest years of the recession seem to have left solar relatively unscathed. That’s a striking fact, at a time when many homeowners and businesses chose to delay other structural improvements, citing cost concerns. The relative resistance of solar to economic upheaval may indicate an interesting dynamic. During the downturn, it’s possible that families and businesses chose to invest in a technology with a proven track record of sustainable return on investment. After all, how many other upgrades offered the same guarantee of financial benefits?
More to come...
My solar experiment continues to charge, it is now charged to 13.3 volts and I will take that. I am going to add more juice soon.
By the way if you are interested in 20 watt 1 amp solar panels let me know I can get them for you!

It takes amp power to charge that battery
I used my basement back up lights alot for several days and also my test of my outside battery with a long connection cord. As the time passed so did the charge. i did add some panels and the juice came rushing in. I believe that I need to get to 1000 watts to do what I want to do and that is to drive more lights and small appliances in my house. Any ideas?

More Google info
Having high rankings in Google's
mobile search results is very
important. More than 50% of all searches on Google happen on mobile
devices. In addition, Google has a market share of more than 95% on
smartphones and tablets.
If your website is listed in Google's search results on mobile devices, your website will get many more visitors and potential customers.
More keyword info:
Modern search engine algorithms focus on topics, not on individual keywords. It is not necessary to use every possible keyword variation on your web pages (for example 'cheap travel insurance', 'cheapest travel insurance', 'cheap travel insurances', etc.).
It is much more important that the content is related to a particular topic ('cheap travel insurance', 'traveling', 'do I need a travel insurance', etc.).

Optimize many pages of your site
To get the best results, optimize different pages of your website for different search terms that are all related to the main topic of your site.
If you do that, you will make sure that your site becomes relevant to a particular topic. It will be much easier to get high rankings for the individual keywords then.

Added more lights downstairs
I added a second light downstairs to my solar back up experiment and today or tomorrow i will add a third light. I will continue to looad it up to see how far it will go.

Lots of storms..
We have had about three hours of storms, I have my solar and battery fan working away and have my light ready downstairs. Bottom line is solar and battery work! Now it is on to 1000 watts.

More emergency power
Extended my back up energy to my enclosed basement. Right now just running one light, I will try to add a second light and maybe a tv. Wire length and size is a problem.

On to 1000 watts
I have a mishmash of solar panels right now but my ultimate goal is to get to at least 1000 watts. With that much punch I will try to power more in my house with the sun and expand on my goal of energy independence. It may not be possible to break the chord but I can try :)

Using a solar driven 12 volt fan
Yesterday as it approached 100 out I hooked up a 12 volt fan to my battery bank. The flow of air was awesome How did this fan affect the battery you ask? It did not at all I could have run it 24/7! I was previously using a regular fan tied into an inverter and yes it worked but for only a few hours until I had to shut it off. Moral to the story is 12 volt works real well.

Using battery and solar back up
I have been using only my solar/battery back up in my basement and I go down there two to three times a day. No lights or virtually no KCPL lights for over a week and it is working well. I am going to expand this to the other side of the basement.

Some interesting info
A very good article on a neat lookinmg but underpowered and overpriced generator but worth a look!
https://gearjunkie.com/goal-zero-review-sherpa-100-solar-kit
I slowly and I mean slowly build my soolar generators and my solar partial power back up systems. All have worked and have been tested. I need to make them look better on the inside and be more compacat and user friendly. More to come on this.
I have a 10 watter, a 20 watter and a50 watter in development. My goal is to have them mostly under $500.00.
I will keep you posted.

100 watts of power
I am about to connect two 50 watt 4 amp solar panels together to get 100 watts. I will send it in to a big sealed battery and have a controller and link it toi a 2400 watt inverter.
I have hooked up my freezer to this inverter and it ran the freezer for over 1 hour. This was with 50 watts now I will try 100 watts and see how it works.

Working on a passive solar back up system
I have not posted for a while but I am now working on testing a small affordable under $1000.00 back up solar emergency power back up system. I am testing 50 watt panels and soon will upgrade to 100 watts at 5 amps. I am using a gel cell 100 amp hunker battery which should last forever almost. I have a small solar charger and I am feeding it with 12 gauge wire into my house. I will attach it to a 900 watt inverter which should easily drive lights or a fan or a radio or a small tv. I will keep you posted.
