Building Your Home Solar System Battery Bank

If you are planning to source for used deep cycle battery for your home solar system battery bank, there are many important considerations to be made.

Size is one of those important aspects.

In order to know which battery will best meet your needs, it is important to obtain several pieces of information before purchasing the battery.

It is important to begin with the terminology that is common with batteries.

One of these terms is that of “storage capacity” this term simply refers to the amount of energy that the unit can store. Usually this is represented in amp hours.

This makes it easy to determine the life of a battery.

For example, a battery that is rated at 1000 amp hours, will run 1000 hours for each amp that it contains.

Considering how many amps a battery needs can be a difficult task, but it is very easy to figure out.

Begin by thinking about how long the solar system will have to go without direct sunlight.

If the night in your area lasts around eight hours, then it is important to make sure that the battery will last at least eight hours due to the fact that the system will be running on battery power.

Also in poor weather conditions, you can typically aim for around 20% energy needed from the battery.

Another important term is that of “series wiring”. This refers to the process of obtaining more volts from a battery as opposed to amps.

A system in series simply consists of two batteries connected from one negative terminal to the positive terminal of another.

Similar to the concept of series wiring is that of “parallel wiring.” This means that you are wiring the batteries in order to increase the amps in the system.

Wiring batteries in parallel means that the positive end of one battery is connected to the positive of another.

This is a great way of running your system when the sun is not out. It is also important to determine if a battery is shallow or deep cycle.

Buying The Right Type Of Battery

When a lead acid battery is purchased, one must determine the appropriate features.

One of these features is if the battery is deep or shallow cycle.

These two terms refer to vastly different batteries that have largely different purposes.

A deep cycle battery is one that can essentially continuously use about four fifths, or about eighty percent, of its capacity.

Whereas a shallow cycle battery will use a large amount of its charge over a shorter time period.

Obviously a deep cycle battery is better for a solar system due to the fact that it lasts much longer than a shallow cycle.

Once the basic concepts of batteries are understood, you are very prepared to make an informed decision about which battery is best for a solar power system.

Being informed is very important so that the best battery for the job is purchased.

Making a great battery choice will save you a great deal of time, effort, money, and energy over the years.

How To Reduce Home Energy Bill With Blinds And Shades

A lot of home owners may not know about this. The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning comprise, on average, about 25 percent of a typical household monthly electricity bill.

As you may already guess, any measures you take to improve this area will reduce your total monthly utility bill substantially.

The Solar Challenge

In my case, I live in a place with 365 days of sun coverage a year. It can be pretty hot some times.

The biggest issue we experienced is solar radiation that will heat up the interior of the house. A large amount of money is spent on air-conditioning. How can we improve this?

As I was doing my research on DIY solar homes, I found out a simple way to overcome solar radiation at home is by using “window covers”. The cheapest form of window covers is via blinds, awnings and shades.

In most cases, our home can achieve better insulative properties by simply covering the windows with appropriate materials such as sun reflectors, insulation webs, heavy colored fabrics etc.

Another approach we can take is to acquire the habit of opening and closing blinds and curtains at a certain times of the day.

For example, close the shades during the afternoon session or late evening, especially if the main living room is facing the west direction where the sun sets.

Block Out The Sun With Blinds

If you want to reduce you home energy bill, why not use blinds on the windows. You don’t have to install blinds on every window, just the one letting direct sun light into the room.

Depending on the type of blinds you use, they can be excellent absorbers or reflectors of sun light. If you are staying in an area with cold climates, you want the blinds to absorb as much sun light as possible to warm up the room.

If the climate is hot, you want the opposite effect by getting the blinds to block the sun ray.

What is the best way to use blinds at home?

During summer time, many people made the mistake by placing the blinds inside a window to keep sunlight out. If you do this, the blinds will soak up the sun energy and releasing it into the room. You are still experiencing solar radiation.

A better approach is to fix the blinds over a window on the outside. By doing this, the sun light will be stopped by the blinds and the heat will be dissipated outside the room.

Of course by placing the blinds outside the room, it will get very hot. Chances are, the blinds may not even last very long.

But who cares?

We can just buy inexpensive blinds from the hardware store and do a replacement when it is worn down. You can use the money you save from your reduced monthly power bill to do this.

Popular Blinds At Amazon

When I was doing my research for this blog post, I decided to do a quick search on Amazon.com to see what are the top selling blinds in their inventory.

Apparently, many home owners are buying the 8 feet length SunSetter shades. To read more about the top selling blinds in Amazon.com, click here

DIY Solar Homes – Engaging The Service Of A Professional Energy Auditor

On my last couple of blog posts, I have been written about the steps you should take before you carry out a DIY solar power project for your home.

Most home owners are not aware how much energy is being wasted every day from their home. By simply fixing these power leaks, you might experienced a drastic reduction in your monthly energy bills. You won’t even need to invest a solar system.

Engaging A Professional Energy Auditor

If you are really serious on making your home more energy efficient, one of the best steps you can take is to employ the service of a professional energy auditor. Some auditors will come to your home to look in your situation in detail and this is the best kind.

Now, when you are getting the service of a professional energy auditor, as a home owner, you should be prudence.

Take his advice with a grain of salt.

Some major inefficiency at home, for example, a faulty heater can be detected quite easily. If you were to take the time to do the audit yourself, I am pretty sure you will find a few major problems that can be fixed with a couple of hundred dollar.

Where can you find a professional energy auditor? You can try:

1) National Association of Energy Service Companies (NAESCO) at www.naesco.org

2) Use the Yellow Pages and look under energy conservation services and products.

3) Phone book under utilities, electric service or utility providers or gas utility companies.

4) The Home Energy Saver at www.hes.lbl.gov.

Get Your Solar Home Questions Ready

Assuming you have engaged the energy auditor, what should you do before he arrives? Here’s some suggestion:

1) Compile all you home electricity bills for the last 3 years – The further back the better.

2) List down your home occupants habits.

How many kids do you have?

How many people at home during the day?

How often do you do your laundry?

The idea is to list down how power is being used at your home on a daily basis.

3) Note down the thermostat settings at home.

4) List down any questions you have.

If you are to install a DIY solar panel, how would that affect the energy audit results?

What kind of financing available for solar homes?

How would a solar power system affects your home insurance?

The energy auditor has a lot of experience. Try picking his brain for some answers.

If possible, come up with a few more questions before the energy auditor arrives. You are paying for his service. You might as well get the most out of it.
