How to DIY Alternative (Green / Renewable) Energy Guides
Let me start
off by saying we (my family and I) live completely, 100% “off of the grid and
are completely self sufficient”
Solar
chimney, solar AC, solar heating, solar water heating (pool and home), solar
stove, solar power, wind power, hydrogen powered back up generator, hydrogen
back up water heater, hydrogen stove, 2 hydrogen powered trucks, 1 EV (electric
vehicle) and satellite internet.
Here’s a DIY step by step process, taken from a guide I offer
at www agua-luna com it’s complete but if you’d like the more specific process
or the pics and images go to www agua-luna com. Its pretty simple but if you
have any problems feel free to contact me directly I can walk you threw the
process.

"STEP 1.
SOLAR PANELS: or PV panels are the key to a hybrid system., converting the sun’s
beams into electricity that we can use in the home. They come in many different
sizes, shapes, power ranges and costs. We will focus on a 12v 50watt (4amp)
panel, measuring appx 4 sq. ft. with a price range from $300-$500.
www.mrsolar.com ($340)
www.agua-luna.com ($299)"
"Retrieve a
typical winter electric bill. You won’t need a summer bill, because by building
a system that runs in winter, it’ll be proven for summer use where days are
longer. Divide the total KWH (Kilowatt Hours) on the bill by 30 (giving you your
Kilowatt Hour per day, or KWH/d consumption amount), now divide that by 10 (or
the total average winter day hours in your area)(giving you KWH/h), now multiple
that by 1000 (converting KWH/h to WH/h or watts)."
"Now that we
know how many watts your systems requires, we need to know how many panels to
use, along with an adequate- sized controller. For simplicity reasons, let’s use
a typical 50w solar panel. We will divide your final “system requirement”
results from above by 50 to tell us how many panels you'll need (hourly winter
consumption watts / 50)."
"NOTE: Size
(watts and feet) of panels is a personal choice and isn’t determined by any
system requirements.
Mount panel/s
flat (0 degree) facing south (if located in the north hemisphere). With a
multimeter, measure the incoming amps (via pos cable to battery), slowly raise
the top edge until the amps peak on your meter. Secure."
Materials you will need
A sheet of copper flashing from the hardware store. This normally costs about
$5.00 per square foot. We will need about half a square foot.
Two alligator clip leads.
A sensitive micro-ammeter that can read currents between 10 and 50 microamperes.
Radio Shack sells small LCD multimeters that will do, but I used a small surplus
meter with a needle.
An electric stove. My kitchen stove is gas, so I bought a small one-burner
electric hotplate for about $25. The little 700 watt burners probably won't work
-- mine is 1100 watts, so the burner gets red hot.
A large clear plastic bottle off of which you can cut the top. I used a 2 liter
spring water bottle. A large mouth glass jar will also work.
Table salt. We will want a couple tablespoons of salt.
Tap water.
Sand paper or a wire brush on an electric drill.
Sheet metal shears for cutting the copper sheet.
The first step is to
cut a piece of the copper sheeting that is about the size of the burner on the
stove. Wash your hands so they don't have any grease or oil on them. Then wash
the copper sheet with soap or cleanser to get any oil or grease off of it. Use
the sandpaper or wire brush to thoroughly clean the copper sheeting, so that any
sulphide or other light corrosion is removed.
Next, place the cleaned and dried copper sheet on the burner and turn the burner
to its highest setting.
As the copper starts to heat up, you will see beautiful oxidation patterns begin
to form.
Oranges, purples, and reds will cover the copper.
As the copper gets hotter, the colors are replaced with a black coating of
cupric oxide. This is not the oxide we want, but it will flake off later,
showing the reds, oranges, pinks, and purples of the cuprous oxide layer
underneath.
The last bits of color disappear as the burner starts to glow red.
When the burner is glowing red-hot, the sheet of copper will be coated with a
black cupric oxide coat. Let it cook for a half an hour, so the black coating
will be thick. This is important, since a thick coating will flake off nicely,
while a thin coat will stay stuck to the copper.
After the half hour of cooking, turn off the burner. Leave the hot copper on the
burner to cool slowly. If you cool it too quickly, the black oxide will stay
stuck to the copper.
As the copper cools, it shrinks. The black cupric oxide also shrinks. But they
shrink at different rates, which makes the black cupric oxide flake off.
The little black flakes pop off the copper with enough force to make them fly a
few inches. This means a little more cleaning effort around the stove, but it is
fun to watch.
When the copper has cooled to room temperature (this takes about 20 minutes),
most of the black oxide will be gone. A light scrubbing with your hands under
running water will remove most of the small bits. Resist the temptation to
remove all of the black spots by hard scrubbing or by flexing the soft copper.
This might damage the delicate red cuprous oxide layer we need to make to solar
cell work.
Cut another sheet of copper about the same size as the first one. Bend both
pieces gently, so they will fit into the plastic bottle or jar without touching
one another. The cuprous oxide coating that was facing up on the burner is
usually the best side to face outwards in the jar, because it has the smoothest,
cleanest surface.
Attach the two alligator clip leads, one to the new copper plate, and one to the
cuprous oxide coated plate. Connect the lead from the clean copper plate to the
positive terminal of the meter. Connect the lead from the cuprous oxide plate to
the negative terminal of the meter.
Now mix a couple tablespoons of salt into some hot tap water. Stir the saltwater
until all the salt is dissolved. Then carefully pour the saltwater into the jar,
being careful not to get the clip leads wet. The saltwater should not completely
cover the plates -- you should leave about an inch of plate above the water, so
you can move the solar cell around without getting the clip leads wet.
now place in the sun with the magnefied on top.
The solar cell is a battery, even in the dark, and will usually show a few
microamps of current.
That’s it it’s that simple. If you’d a more detailed process and some pics
(ouldn’t put them here) it’s available along with some other DIY alternative

There are
several tricks to building the same size system without buying the most
expensive components. Here are a few:
•
Do not buy for brand names, buy
for price. 50 watts is 50 watts.
•
Purchase small panels. 3-15w
panels can cost ¼ less than one 45w.
•
FREE PANELS:
Contact your highway dept. or dept. of motor vehicle (DMV) and ask for panels
off of their retired/nonworking “highway construction carts.” These panels
usually only operate at 50% efficiency or less, but in most cases are completely
FREE or cost just a couple bucks. You may also want to subscribe to
www.freecycle.org. All items
are given away for FREE there all the time, no strings attached.
•
Contact
your Dept of Energy and Resources, you may qualify for tax breaks and/or
refunds. For more info visit www.dsireusa.org.
•
Use
several small inverters separated by rooms--one inverter for the kitchen,
etc. This way if one inverter breaks, the whole house isn't without power, just
that room. (Keep a spare controller/parts).
•
To save your inverter from
operating continuously, run some appliances on DC electricity (refrigerator,
water heater, etc.) Many appliances now come in 12v DC and use far less energy
then 110v. (If you’re switching over from gas, I’d suggest going straight to
DC.)
•
When purchasing parts, supplies
or system components, ask first about any “display” or “damaged” items. In most
cases they are discounted up to 90% off because of a few scratches and/or dings.
•
Buy used.
Look at www.suntrekenergy.com, www.oasismt.com,
www.craigslist.org or www.ebay.com where you may
find “like new” used items, at 1/10th of their original cost.
•
Sell your
excess energy back to the power company. Ask your power company about “net
metering” or go to www.eere.energy.gov
or www.serconline.org
for tables and state law information.
•
Check out
these books and magazines for more information on
living off the grid: “Photovaltaics”,
“Create an oasis greywater”, “Motherearthnews” and
my book coming out this summer.
