<p>The wonderful world of Photovoltaic’s, otherwise known as solar power, doesn’t have to be restricted to the rich. You can build a simple solar power set-up that can run all the lights in your home, a TV, stereo, computer, or similar electrical device. All you need is 1 solar panel, 1 battery, 110 volt inverter and a set of car jumper cables. All for no more than a Friday night out on the town (0). </p>
<p>You can now run your laptop, Blackberry, Ipod, Iphone or any other electronic, where</p>

Part of the 7.2 kW system in Bayview, WI USA (South of Milwaukee, WI).  This is very likely the largest residential solar installation in Wisconsin.  This home also has a detached garage, and the south facing roof of the garage is totally covered with PV panels as well.</p>
<p>This photo was taken during the fall of 2007 when I was on a tour of residential solar power installations in the Milwaukee area.  It was so inspiring to see all of the small scale renewable projects that individuals are doing.  It is my hope that the US government begins supporting these grass roots efforts on a much more meaningful scale in the very near future.</p>
<p>It is &quot;Time for  Change.&quot; It is time for renewable energy to be taken seriously by government leaders in the US.</p>

<p>The author has been providing his own electricity from the sun and the wind for years, and in this book he explains how you can do the same.   There are chapters on the various system components required (including inverters and charge controllers), how to put them all together, batteries, grid-connected systems, and there is even a basic electricity primer. Andy has analysed the output of his system for over 10 years, and these real-life figures are included.</p>

This picture shows two loops of my solar hot water system.  The cost goes into paying a good plumber who knows how it all works to put together.  It takes several days including running it up to the roof.  The roof run was easy in my case.</p>
<p>The first loop is the circulation loop from the roof through the pump (center) and into a heat exchange loop in the storage tank on the right.  This loop returns to the roof through the meter/pump and heads back to the roof collector.  This loop contains (non-poisonous) anti-freeze (not Ethylene glycol which the stuff in car radiator fluid). </p>
<p>The second loop is the domestic water. It  comes out of the storage tank (upper right) and goes into (black insulated pipe) going into the domestic hot water tank, (bottom left).  </p>
<p>The circulation loop includes a bypass &quot;vacation&quot; loop.  You throw the value (center, above the pump/meter), and the water from the roof circulates through 10&#8242; or so of baseboard radiator (hidden through the wall under the stairs).  The system keeps working in the best heat of the summer while your on vacation which prevents the coolant from being cooked. Meanwhile, the system keeps trying to get the heat into the storage tank. Since in the spring I&#8217;ve seen the tank get above 120 several sunny days including once to 150 F, I&#8217;m sure the system will be able to put plenty of heat in the tank even while losing lots through the radiator.  When your not on vacation, the idea is that you use hot water which will keep the system circulating.</p>
