Creative ways to save money on electricity in your house or business

         Energy - we all need it. We all use it - in fact we're so used to it we're pretty much ignorant of it!

Mobile

No matter where you want to go & no matter how you want to travel - you can take small items with you to provide mobile power! There are two main sections - that contain the most common ideas for water and land.

It can work in your vehicle easily!

You can use just and Inverter hooked upto your car / truck battery or you can add a fully dependable system.

For camping & where you need as much power as possible without running noisy generators etc - solar panels can be fixed to the roof of the vehicle. They can be mounted fixed flat, on adjustable frames to face the sun or even to be removed from the vehicle & faced at the sun. This is particularly useful when you want to park the vehicle in the shade but get sun on the panels!

If you park up and stay for a while in each place a small windturbine could be used & removed before travelling again.

 

For this type of system, you will need:

  1. An Energy Converter (normally solar modules though wind can be used)
  2. A Regulator (unless the energy converter (#1) is self-regulated)
  3. Batteries (needed to release energy when you need it)
  4. Stand Alone Inverter (rated to your power need)
  5. Wires & connectors to go between #1-4
  6. THAT'S IT!!

It doesn't get too much easier! In most cases you simply connect the Inverter to your battery & plug in your appliance (TV, Fridge etc) and away you go!
