That seems to be better than our net metering in NYS. I think I would get about .03$ per kwh on a grid interconnect.. Is my math correct? Also is this a...

Steve, There's zero comparison between "net-metering" here and the Electricity Feed Laws used in Europe. To translate that posting. The new law in Germany will...
I have been following your mail for a few months now and I have asked a few questions to some of your contributors but not received an answer. So i am asking...
To: Paul Tie If you have a DC source, such as photovoltaics or a small wind system, then a synchronous inverter takes the DC and sychronizes with the grid...
Paul there are several ways a system is set up. The last system I set up I used a wind generator which made DC and charged a battery. When the wind generator...
Andy, ... Thank you! This is the first time I recall you mentioning that noise actually is a consumer issue! (Maybe my memory doesn't serve me right, but I...
HI Paul The grid tie 10 kW inverter is about $10,000. Ther are lots to choose from. YOu can get a single unit at 10 kW or use several smaller ones stacked...
Guys, I've been thinking about a small grid connected system. Could eventually include wind and PV. I would really like to get a small grid tie inverter, but...

The only unit I know of that would fit your description would be the Xantrex Sun Tie XR series of inverters. Their 1K unit sells for around $1800.00. Although...

Hello, To come back to the PV subsidy discussion, here are the exact figures for Luxemburg: You get 50% of the purchase price for the PV system back from the...
... I assume you mean 50 cycles/second or 50 Hertz (Hz) For that you would need 10 poles. The size would depend on the power and efficiency requirements. Why...
Putting wind generators to one side for a moment as that's a different project for me, and need to progress it further. Before suggesting fork truck batteries...
I live in Ontario where we pay 4 ish cents/kwh. So am I alone to be surprised why here we are slow to take up wind power. Can some one fill me in on typical...
Paul, That's what is "paid" to PV. The "cost" of electricity is probably around 10-15 cents/kWh. The point is that the Germans, French, Luxembouroise,...
4 cents a kwh in Ontario, is very misleading. The actual end user cost is a little over 10 cents/kwh if you add in the distribution charges, commodity...
I don't know about Ontario but California only allows you to "net meter" up to what your usage is. California utilities don't pay you for generating power in...
From my understanding, you will need a battery system to deal with small wind systems whether you intertie or not. The only inverter that I know to handle...
... In Europe, 15 cents per kWh is a typical retail price. I find is astonishing that you pay 4. The US average seems to be closer to 10 cents, but that also...
