This is the second video of a small power setup using an AirX windmill and 3 80 watt solar panels. For those that are interested in solar and wind power and would like their first clue on how to start this may be of some help.

scary wiring !!!! ,come on people look at other peoples systems and learn how to wire safely ,but excellent to see another pv wind system up and running
Be smart – don’t pay any more electricity bills. more info: solar.xfollow.me (Copy to your browser’s address bar)
dave, nice setup. very simple , explanatory advice. i know have a small more knowledge to work with. thanks for the info.
Cool.
Did you buy the wind turbine or make that?
Also, where do I find these type of 6 volt batteries?
Thank you!
you need to clean up the wiring. mite start a fire.
its 3*(2*6v) [=12v] for the battery?
where did you buy your panels from?
That is really cool. You are a very smart man.
Excellent job!!!!
How much were the solar panels & what kind were they again?? I got some crappy ones.
Way to go Dude, I like your set up ver much. I own property in Oklahoma and am planing to do the same thing your doing now. Your video boosted my confidence. I have a year round stream running through my property will be able to add a small with that.. Thanks Again
3 solar panels, the controllers the meters a 3′ dish antenna, a 5.8 Ghz digital radio and a tractor. Total value around $4000.
Hey I’m jealous. Your’s is pretty
No just kidding. Fantastic video and fantastic setup.
I am looking forward to setting up a new system.
It was a fantastic learning experience. I will do things different the 2nd time around for sure. One of which will be making things clean and orderly.
Thanks Skip!
Dave, nice set up. Check out mine, it powers all my lights and a 19″ color TV at night.
Keep dreaming. That’s how excellent things get invented.
have you found a way to make it cost effective
has anyone ever used several car alternaters to recharge battery. thought about getting 5 or 6 alternaters hooked up together running of 20 hp gas motor to power electric car. Know of any place to buy electric motor for a small car. Can’t seem to find a excellent website. PS this plot is just a thought maybe a terrible one but a thought.
I have to admit. Making your own electricity is not cheap. Large power companies have the economy of size on their side. There is no way you are going to do it cheaper than them.
But the trade off (as you inferred) is independence or the illusion of it anyway
Water power is no magic wand. As with everything, it sounds excellent on paper.
My dream is to live in the country off grid without relying on any utility companies. I am dissapointed in the watts that your setup is giving you. What about hydro electricity from a stream/creek/river? I live in Oregon where there are many country properties with some of these.
nope… thats cool
Is this a sentence?
The solar electric system powered a radio tower.
what is the solar power powing anyways light?
Hey look in a mirror. I reckon you have something to get cleaned.
Clean your mouth up
i cant see shit dude clean that shit up!!!!!!
yep. the guy who stole my stuff had a warrant for his arrest. Meth possession.
What all did they steal?
I’d like to find out who stole everything. It seems it’s the way of the world lately. I guess all the druggies need to keep stoned to handle life or something.
Isn’t that the most frustrating thing ?!?! You work your ass off and invest a lot of money to do some excellent and people just snatch it up. I caught a guy stealing my stuff and nearly killed him
