OFF GRID POWER OPTIONS?
May 17th
Posted by admin in Wind Power FAQ
Does anyone currently live off grid?
If so, what type of alternate power system(s) are you using?
Solar? —(I think very costly and in this part of the country, not enough sun.)
Hydro-electric? —(may be a viable choice if I have enough current running through my stream and or enough head from a waterfall)
Wind? — (If It is installed high enough and does not obscure.)
Diesel Generator—(may be ok if underground, low speed, water cooled)
We are planning to build a log home in up-state Pa. as a second home for now, but our primary residence in a few years.
Thanks in advance for your answers!
