Designing your own electricity system

Designing your own electricity system - part 1

Dear all

I have started a new business called Orbital Renewable Energy. See http://www.orbitalre.co.za/

I would like to know if you would like me to run a thread on how you can size your own electrical systems using solar panels, wind turbines and water turbines?

This would give you an idea of what you need to run either your house or your critical loads, eg loads you want to run when there is a power failure.

There are lots of entry points into Renewable Energy and my company can provide you with a kit from as little as R3500 right up to full sized off grid houses in the millions. Note that we are working hard to reduce the price of our entry level kit. The kit comprises 3 LED lights, a solar panel, a battery box, and a cigarette lighter charger that has been designed to charge a cell phone, but which we are busy testing with running a laptop.

Please let me know if you are interested in this?

Regards

Repair Your World: Solving the electricity crisis at no tax cost to the treasury

My latest letter to the Cape Times editor. Melanie Gosling's articles this week and NERSA today (24th February 2010) approving 25% increases (95% over 3 years) refer. My company has a number of clients who wish to provide their own energy. We don't believe that we can rely on Eskom energy. It isn't sustainable. It isn't clean. Not only is coal polluting the air, mining it is polluting our water resources and destroying our roads. If we weren't in a recession Eskom energy wouldn't be enough for our requirements, so there is no true security of supply, especially as Eskom has not got the increase they wanted. Lastly, in the medium to long term, Eskom's energy is not affordable for our clients and there are already affordable alternatives. However, most of the clients we consult to are too small to fit into the 1 Megawatt bracket which gets the feed in tariff (REFIT). And the REFIT itself is a farce because the government has implemented a tender system w...

South Africans can bring peace to the world

Hi all. I have renamed this video and updated its description and settings to "South Africans can bring peace to the world." Most commentators on YouTube and here on Facebook are saying that there is no hope for South Africa. They are saying that the ANC represents everyone in South Africa. They are saying that South Africa's political landscape is changing to one where blacks vote for black parties, or various faiths vote for the own parties, or people from Natal vote for parties that represent them and people from the Cape vote for parties that represent them. This problem is short term! I came back to South Africa in 1995 as I believe(d) in the new South Africa. I left the old South Africa in 1987 because I didn't want to fight my coloured and black friends from the townships where I had been teaching for years, whilst at University. I live in South Africa as do so many people because we believe in the country and its people. We love its beauty. We love that Amaz...
