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 ...

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 ...

In the World: Small Mexican village produces clean water with solar-powered system
MIT-developed system runs autonomously, producing 1,000 liters per day. In a small village deep in the jungles of the Yucatan Peninsula — a day’s drive from any source of clean, drinkable water — researchers from MIT are testing a system that purifies water with the help of the sun. The relatively inexpensive system consists of several modest photovoltaic panels, a large tank ...
