Compact Electric Power Generator For The Home Based On Solar Energy
Author: Juan Trevino
The small solar-power generator for homes is waiting to be built as of today, 2008. Parts and components for a solar power generator have been invented, developed, and are in operation for many years, but the full electrical equipment that powers up a home, has not been integrated and is not ready for the market place.
CENTRALIZED POWER GENERATION
Large power generation and distribution companies, are staying away from the home markets. There are 44 companies in the United States that generate and distribute electricity, with 403 billion in revenues, making profits of 36 billion p/year, who wish to continue charging each consumer forever. Developing technology for homes can hurt their central power generation business. Although their plans may include the diversification of their power source, such as: nuclear, hydro, solar, thermal power, as well as, continuing the use of coal, natural gas, oil, it does not include the home power generation market.
Sunlight is the only energy available to all homes, free of charge, provided by God and nature. If sunlight was harness by each consumer to power up their home, central power generators and distributors may not be needed. Other power generating technologies coming from thermal power, hydro or nuclear power, are innocuous to these utility companies, because home owners will never use these energy sources to generate their own power. Thus we can expect that current power utility companies will continue to use these traditional sources of energy extensively, and will defer and try to derail home solar technology as much as they can, as long as they can.
When no other alternative existed for obtaining electricity as we have had in the past, electricity supplied from these large plants was welcomed. But today, with so many more technologies available, large power generation plants and centralized business model is highly inefficient because: 1. consumers pay more and forever, to these virtual monopolies; 2. homes need to be within the reach of the electrical grids, remote country homes not tied to the grid need to find other ways to power up their home; 3. flying electrical cables through the streets provide for visual contamination and make streets and neighborhoods look bad; 4. the land used for laying down the high tension cables is about 3%; 99% of the power generated comes from contaminating fuels, either fossil fuels or radioactive materials; and lastly the expensive investment plant model inhibits poor countries from obtaining electricity. In essence the centralized power plants have American paying electricity forever, and are the direct cause for poverty and starvation in the world.

We need to understand that insisting in generating electricity via very large plants, without the development of the Home Power Generator, creates world poverty, inhibits poor countries from obtaining electricity, inhibits people in those countries to produce food and make products to generate an income which can sustain themselves, and comes back to the USA in terms of the help we need to provide but always as charity.
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
Since FPL, Duque Energy, Constellation Energy and the other 39 companies are incapable of developing the HPG, other investors are need to develop this light weight Solar power generation industry. , similar to the Air conditioning manufacturing plants. Development and fabrication of the HPG would be the integration of the 4 components, which can be produced or outsourced by the investor, making the investment accessible to smaller investors. The HPG appliance will be maintenance free, operating cost free, can be sold all over the world, to power up homes and eliminating the electricity cost of those using it.

Anybody has idea of where i can get affordable solar electric generator for my relative staying in a village?
I have rlatives who leave in a village where electicity supply from a private company is easily disrupted.Sometimes,takes two to three days for the supplying company to fixed the problem,then later within another day ,the problem reappear again.Because of this,I want to know if anybody could help me.
What i am looking for,is a cheap or affordable and portable solar electric generator to replace the current suppliers.As the village of my relative is located within latitude 23degrees north and south of the equator. where there is sunlight throghout the year.
Any suggestion or links are highly welcome.
We recently had a major power outage. How do we choose an electric generator to be sure we can use our fridge?
We want to have the capability to generate our own electricity, particularly during an emergency. A solar electric generator would be great for us because we live in the desert. How do we choose the best one for our needs?
Where can I find a solar electric generator to use in a home in a building?
Is there a solar electric generator? I heard a company in Chicago has manufactured an electric generator that?
I am looking for a company that manufactures electric generators that uses solar energy.
Why are the south-western States the best place in the US to build solar furnace electric generators?
Erm – that would be a electric solar cell then.

What does “home in a building” mean? Is this a condo?
You will need access to the roof, and the condo association will have to give you permission to install the solar array.
Just search the internet for “solar array” and you will find hundreds.
Your first decision is: batteries, with the chargers and all that entails, OR sell power back to the power company.
The latter is best as it eliminates all the batteries, chargers, etc. And you can get a smaller size array. You need to talk to the power company about their requirements to let you do this.
Your second decision is, how big an array can I afford.
If you go with the batteries, next decision is number and type of batteries, and where they are stored. You have to pick an inverter, and decide how to integrate it with your other electric power, possibly with a separate set of outlets (selling power to the electric company eliminates all this)
etc etc.
Hi there … you can get a whole house generator which will cover all your needs for between $3-8000 or you cab get a portable one and have a swtich fitted to your house so that you basically plug it in….
Here in florida… I have two … a small 1000w and a bigger 8000 watt. The higher the watts the more it will run in your house. For example .. the only things the 8000w wont run in my house is the air conditioning and the stove…. it will run everything else….. it cost $1300
The 1000 w will run the refrigerator… and a few lights… or the tv and lights and fans … It cost…. $299.
There is also the thing called starting watts… the 8000 wat gernerator has a starting watt of 13500. What this means is that when certain electrila appliances start they need more electricity than when they are constantly running… like acceleration in a car… more gas to get up to speed…
The site below has a section sizing your generator and it wexplains how to work out what you need…
