How to Select the Best Solar Inverter for Your Home | Clean Solar

The solar inverter is the unsung hero of your home solar system. The DC electricity produced by your solar panels is converted by the inverter into usable AC electricity, which powers your home and appliances. Choosing just the right inverter itself is an art and quite vital in extracting the maximum efficiency out of all parts of the solar setup.

Solar

Let's take a best-case scenario for solar power, near the equator. This maximizes the amount of power we can get from solar, but we still have one crucial problem. Inconsistent producion. It peaks at noon, and drops to 0 at sundown. The actual production graphs is probably a bell curve for the day time. So, with this, we need a method of storing the power. We do not have a good solution, at all. We don't have enough Lithium and Cobalt, in the world, (by current estimates), to replace our cars, nevermind everything else. Doing this for a large grid is suicidal. BUT, doing for a small grid makes sense. Solar power has the crucial advantage of being grid-independent. This means that a small grid, say an individual house, or a small community, could easily produce it's own power. This also has the advantage of creating a stable power supply in regions that have intermittent service. Say, if you are living in California. Or in an out-of-the-way reservation.

People assume that solar power is more sustainable, because it doesn't use fuel. This is a pretty reasonable assumption to make. The problem is that it has not proven to be true. Even in places like California, household solar power and storage systems are only competition with grid power rates with government subsidies and mandatory grid buybacks. Most of the houses have it's own solar and power storage. It's also equiped with a smart switch to decide when it's connected to a grid. So, the battery charges over the day until it's full, which is usually around or just after midday, and then the smart switch hooks it up to to the outside grid, and they get buyback. So, California only just get solar power throughout the day, but only through part of the day, completely variable based upon independent household usage. Just try to imagine balancing this over the day without any reasonable storage. As it is, California has not managed to get it to work. If they can't, then who can?

If we move away from the equator, we have another problem, Winter. Winter daytime production can be a fraction of what summer daytime can produce. Not even just because of reduced hours, but reduced sunlight during those hours.

Another, less well known problem with solar, is slower generation. It takes a lot more material and power making solar pannels than they produce, at least compared with every other form of power generation. Except maybe wind. This means that while we could scale up our solar production to meet our needs, we cannot do it on a reasonble time scale. It's impossible to replace our power generation with solar without going through something else.

There is another serious, crippling issue with solar power. Not so much with the solar power itself, (other than being vulnerable to environmental damage), we are clearing space for it. This is mind bogglingly stupid. We could instead be putting them on flat roofs, if you leave a space this could even shade the roof, dramatically reducing the heat exposure of the building while increasing the efficiency of solar pannels. We could also put them on the side of those incredibly ugly modernist skyscrapers. A huge amount of the glass on skycrapers isn't even useful. It's just there to make it look ugly and uniform. We can even put them over farm fields. This is called agrivoltaics. It turns out that most plants evolved to grow in partial shade. Too much sunshine, and they risk burning, and to avoid it they go through a LOT more water. By adding partial shade you dramatically reduce water usage and increase yield. Depending on the plant, of course. If we really wanted to be special, we could put agrivoltaics on the rooftop of our medium density mixed usage neighbourhoods. Green roofs dramatically improve the insulation.

Note: I'll deal with grid storage and solar thermal in a later post.

Technological advancements in solar panel manufacturing, improved efficiency, and economies of scale have led to more affordable solar installations. As costs continue to fall, solar energy becomes increasingly competitive with traditional energy sources, making it an attractive option for governments, businesses, and homeowners alike.

Abundant and Renewable Resource:

Solar energy is an abundant and renewable resource that is available across the globe. The sun is a virtually inexhaustible source of energy, providing more energy in just one hour than the entire world consumes in a year. Harnessing even a fraction of this energy potential could power our planet for generations to come.

Climate Change Mitigation:

Transitioning to solar energy is a crucial step in mitigating the impact of climate change. Solar power generates electricity without producing harmful greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants, helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and combat global warming. By embracing solar energy, we can significantly reduce our carbon footprint and work towards a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.

Energy Independence and Security:

Relying on solar energy promotes energy independence and security for nations. By harnessing their abundant solar resources, countries can reduce their dependence on fossil fuel imports and volatile energy markets, enhancing their energy self-sufficiency and reducing geopolitical risks associated with energy supply.

Distributed Energy Generation:

Solar pannels allows for distributed energy generation, meaning power can be produced closer to the point of consumption. This decentralization reduces the need for extensive power transmission infrastructure and minimizes transmission losses, resulting in a more efficient and resilient energy grid.

Job Creation and Economic Growth:

The solar industry has become a significant source of job creation and economic growth. As more countries invest in solar energy projects, job opportunities are being created in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and research and development. The solar sector has the potential to drive economic prosperity and stimulate innovation.

Technological Innovation and Energy Storage:

Advancements in solar technology are not limited to solar panels alone. Energy storage solutions, such as batteries, are increasingly complementing solar installations, enabling better energy management and grid integration. Energy storage addresses the intermittent nature of solar energy and ensures power availability even during cloudy days or at night.

The future of solar energy is undoubtedly bright, with its potential to revolutionize the global energy landscape. As we embrace solar power, we unlock a path toward sustainable development, combat climate change, and create a more resilient energy future. With declining costs, technological advancements, and growing global awareness, solar energy is set to play a transformative role in accelerating the transition to a cleaner, greener, and brighter future for generations to come.

In this video we do the Reolink Argus 2 Review and also cover the Reolink Solar Panel. One thing when reviewing this camera is they did step up from the previous original Argus because from the original Argus camera the most annoying thing was that it didn't have a rechargeable battery and the video quality wasn't the greatest either. Reolink Argus 2 with Solar Pannel: https://amzn.to/3cM5ybv Support this channel by using the link above to make any amazon purchase, thank you :) The new Reolink Argus 2 makes it easy to DIY Home Security because you are able to setup everything very easy with no need from external help, the Reolink argus 2 night vision works excellent it is able to deliver a good quality image. The one thing that I do not like in the Argus 2 is the 15fps 1080p that should be 30+ fps nothing under and also the wifi signal is not the greatest either. But for a DIY Home Security wireless camera the Reolink Argus 2 does an excellent job, it makes it easy to keep an eye of your home remotely and also it does have a 7 day free cloud storage which I love seeing. When you are looking at a solar powered security camera this argus 2 camera does an excellent job with that because you are able to make it so you don't really need to charge your camera if you are placing it our-doors and you do get many mounting options I do love the magnet which you could probably tell from the video.

This Amel 53 Super Maramu comes equipped with every piece of cruising gear you would need and is ready to set sail tomorrow on her next bluewater journey.  Offering features such as a solar array, wind generator and prop generator for providing charging without running her diesel generator or reliable turbocharged Perkins Diesel.  And with a built in watermaker for generating freshwater while underway, combined with a robust communications package consisting of a long range SSB (Single Side Band) radio, Sail Mail, and WeatherFax you can be prepared for cruising in any latitude imaginable.

The sailplan is a perfect choice for extended cruising with her ketch rig which offers the ability to easily balance the vessel in any weather condition, and with every crucial control line routed to the cockpit and her factory installed electric winches and furling headsail, mainsail, and mizzen sails there is rarely a need to leave the safety of the spacious and comfortable center cockpit.

This vessel features a robust inventory of spare parts, an extra set of sails, two dinghies, and an amazing amount of storage space that makes this Amel the perfect choice for exploring the seas in comfort and safety.  Contact me directly so I can share the full inventory of spares as well as a recent Survey on this vessel.

This the same vessel featured in the popular Cruising Blog S/V Delos, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvLc83k5o11EIF1lEo0VmuQ

The Super Maramu, the culmination of a series of six different Amels produced in Henri Amel’s lifetime, was first introduced in 1989 and was discontinued in 2005, the year Amel passed away, after a production run of 497 hulls. It is very much a production boat in that most everything about it is set as firmly in stone as possible at the factory. New Amels are delivered, quite literally, ready to sail anywhere in the world with option lists that are very short. You either buy into the Amel system, or you don’t, and if you don’t you are well advised to buy another boat rather than try to make one of these into something it isn’t.

As on all Amels, the focus aboard the Super Maramu is very much on comfort and convenience. The boat, consequently, is very systems intensive. Standard equipment includes a generator, washer-drier, a fridge and seperate deep freezer, and a microwave oven, not to mention myriad lesser bits of kit, including a vacuum cleaner, hair drier, and a specially designed shopping cart.

The same philosophy pertains on deck and the boat is designed to be operated from the confines of the well-protected center cockpit by a single individual capable of lifting no more than 50 pounds. Both the in-mast mainsail and headsail are controlled with push-button electric furlers; the smaller in-mast mizzen is controlled by a direct-drive furler turned with a winch

handle. All sheet winches are electric. The power windlass, replete with chain counter, can also be operated from the cockpit, as can the integral anchor washdown system installed in the bow roller. There is also a retractable bow thruster to help out when docking, though it is necessary to step out on deck to handle dock lines.

Descriptions

Accommodations

The Amel 53 Super Maramu offers a center cockpit layout that affords a very deep & protected center cockpit for security while on deck while giving you a large aft cabin with a huge double berth.

As you descend the companionway, the well equipped offshore galley is to port with a great nav station to starboard. Moving forward is the U shaped dinette to port with additional refrigeration under the seats. To starboard is a straight settee.

Forward of the main bulkhead is the head to port and an open forward cabin with berths port & starboard.

Aft of the companionway to starboard is the passage way to the aft stateroom. There is a single berth outboard in the passageway that makes for a very comfortable and secure sea berth.

The aft stateroom features a large double berth to port with a dressing area/desk area to starboard. There is a large hanging locker and large head with shower.

The stowage is excellent throughout the boat. Amel certainly had long range cruising in mind and provided a place to put everything.
