I am a RET. lic. Comm / indust. Electrical Contractor from Illinois now building and liveing in southeastern Kentucky.
my intrest and still hobby is electric
I have been lurking in the fourms for homebrew gen sets and in the PV section
I would like to kick it in da butt and get started
my thoughts are a hybreed system PV and Wind or hydro ( Have a creek 30 foot from the new house and tons of wind on the hill tops )
but my thoughts are starting with a PV set up
thinkin 2 panles like 75Watts@12/24 volts
I can weld so i would make the rack to mount them in
Question is whats the best place for price, and avalb?
what would be a good / best brand to start with that i could later build on?
