Every day the bright Sun right over our head delivers enough solar energy to power all our needs. All we need to do is capture this energy to use or store for later use. Home automation can be combined to take advantage of sunny weather in order to alert the user to best usage periods. All excess is stored in a Tesla Powerwall battery system or sold back to the utility. The Powerwall is sized to deliver required power during nighttime hours. Night time generation can be supplemented by wind turbine or thermo electric night time power systems.
The solar revolution is already taking place at these project locations:
- Ivanpah Solar Complex, NRG Energy
- Upper Midwest Solar Energy Assisting Farmers
- Off Grid Solar Battery Bank Size Calculation

Great Power Solution for Remote Locations
Power companies may argue against solar for financial reasons, but eventually, like whale oil and the horse and carriage, oil companies will have to make solar energy more available as a wise energy investment for the planet and future generations. In the mean time, current consumer solar equipment is great for camping, remote locations and single family use applications.
