Be Your Own Electric Compy <br />*^»^Vect*ri*c power from a UTiisper or Mariner wind generator can easily <br />provide 80 to 100% of the normal requirements of a sailboat, cabin, <br />rural home, small farm or business without power lines. An <br />optional gas or diesel generator can provide backup for low' wind or high <br />demand periods, and solar panels (PV) complement the wind by <br />providing electricity during the calm between weather fronts and during <br />seasonal low wind months. A storage battery provides electricity during <br />windless periods and an optional stand-alone inverter gives vou <br />electricity just like that from the power company to run all your standard <br />household appliances. <br />Or, if you have utility <br />lines, sell it back! <br />There is brand new lechnulogy on Ihe markel that <br />combines a stand-alone and utility interlace <br />(synchronous) inverter in one neat package, and <br />it s perfectly matched to our Whisper 3QQ0 or <br />H4500. The features are far too numerous to detait: <br />You can sett excess power back to the utility. If Ihe <br />utility fails you have an uninterruptible power <br />system. If your electricity is more expensive during <br />peak hours (and it will be soon for all of us!) you <br />can program the inverter to use only Ihe power in <br />the battery, ft will even start your back-up <br />generator. Watch your meter run backwards! <br />1. The wind <br />generator <br />transforms wind <br />energy into <br />atternaling current. <br />2. Solar (PV) panels <br />convert sunlight into <br />direct current & are <br />used alone or with a <br />wind generator. <br />3. The EZ-WIRE System Center is <br />where the wind generator, solar <br />panels, battery & load are <br />connected together & controlled <br />and monitored. <br />Both wind & solar are reguiated lo^ <br />prevent battery overcharge. The <br />wind generator propeller can be <br />stopped & solar power shut off at <br />the EZ-WIRE. <br />4 Deep cycle batteries <br />should be large enough to store <br />several days of energy. <br />5. DC lights and appliances <br />or a small inverter connect <br />to the EZ-WiRE.\ <br />6. A targe inverter is connected directly <br />to the battery bank to power the <br />complete household. All world voltages <br />and frequencies are available. <br />- r".* <br />You Can Plan Your Own Wind and Solar Electric System <br />• Choose a system voltage of 24 voits for a new. renewable energy system for hortie or farm If your wineJ generator and solar jrahel <br />. is under 3000 watts. Use a 48 volt battery in larger systems. Older boat and farm electric systems or authentic restoration projects ate easily feftita^ <br />volts Small lighting systems including TV and small water pump under 500 v/atts can be designed at.12 yotts. Boats and cxishng <br />remain at 12 volts. Install a deep cycle battery of sufficient capacity.
