Hey all, how is it going? I am curious about alternative energy sources, for powering an op. I am interested in wind and solar mostly.
I am a Petroleum Engineering student, so I know the facts about these energy sources, and know that they do not have a legit chance of replacing any countries power. These devices are not good for "energy", because (esp. solar panel) they need more energy to be created, then they will ever create. But I am over that, and want as much power in one op as possible, without throwing up signs.
Power here is very cheap. Adding 2k in lights would raise my bill ~ $40 a month, but 2k+ in KWH is very noticeable.
What viable options are there for creating 2kW? (Please note: I am wanting to add 2kW onto what I am already running...)
I am looking in numerous price ranges, since this wont come into effect until 2 harvest and $$$ is not an option.
I know all about the quite generators, but they are not a viable option. I am in the 4th floor attic, so solar and wind would be great.
Here is a site of some decent wind powered devices:
