Off Grid Solar Power Systems Design:The Beginner’s Guide in 2018
The off-grid solar system is an array of solar power components meant to run daily operations of electrical devices in absence of electricity. A similar array of solar power is the use of grid-tie solar systems; systems that are required to run electric appliances whenever utility grid is not supplying power. The grid-tie system is connected to the utility power source and works interchangeably ...

Micro Power to the People
A letter to the editor alerted me to my chance to finally see a microhydro system. On January 18, Vivian Stockman and I visited Mickey and Jennifer Janowski, who live at an elevation of 2,250 feet in Webster County, W.Va. We didn’t go to admire their log home, which they built themselves — but we did that, too, while we were there. They’ve had an off-grid solar power system ...
