DIY Solar Power House

How to get 10KW power?

Hi:

I am new in the electricity world. But i have searched enough to get some idea about it.

I want to get 10KW power and 220V to run household.

I can easily produce continues 12-24V through car batteries or solar panels.

Next What i need to get this 10KW and 220V?

I means, inverter, generator, transformer or any other thing?

Please guide me step by step, which components i need, from where i can get them etc…

Any help will be highly appreciated.

The average household use of electric power is 1000 watts, 1 kw. so this is a very large house.

To get from 12 or 24 volts to 220 volts 50hz is easy, just buy an inverter of the proper size. A 10kW sized one will set you back about US$1000.

But that doesn’t address the numerous batteries you will need, the charge controller for charging the batteries and the many and expensive solar panels to generate the electricity.

Key question is: how long must the batteries supply power if the sun is not shining.

Pick 24 hours.

Then the batteries need to supply 10kwatts x 24 hrs = 240 kw-hrs. Now a good sealed lead acid battery ($300 each) is good for about 1kw-hr. so you would need 240 of these batteries!!!

And a charge controller, and lots of solar panels to handle the charging.

You need to carefully rethink how much power you need, and for how long!

Solar (Hardcover) $36.78 The literary event of the summer: a new novel from Ian McEwan, as surprising as it is masterful. Michael Beard is a Nobel prize¿winning physicist whose best work is behind him. Trading on his reputation, he speaks for enormous fees, lends his name to the letterheads of renowned scientific institutions, and half-heartedly heads a government-backed initiative tackling global warming. While he coasts along in his professional life, Michael¿s personal life is another matter entirely. His fifth marriage is crumbling under the weight of his infidelities. But this time the tables are turned: His wife is having an affair, and Michael realizes he is still in love with her. When Michael¿s personal and professional lives begin to intersect in unexpected ways, an opportunity presents itself in the guise of an invitation to travel to New Mexico. Here is a chance for him to extricate himself from his marital problems, reinvigorate his career, and very possibly save the world from environmental disaster. Can a man who has made a mess of his life clean up the messes of humanity? A complex novel that brilliantly traces the arc of one man¿s ambitions and self-deceptions, Solar is a startling, witty, and stylish new work from one of the world¿s great writers.

Solar Hydrogen (Hardcover) $230.63 Renewable hydrogen produced using solar energy to split water is the energy fuel of the future. Accelerated innovation in both major domains of solar energy (photovoltaics and concentrated solar power) has resulted in the rapid fall of the solar electricity price, opening the route to a number of practical applications using solar H2. New thermochemical water splitting using concentrated solar power (CSP) as well as CSP coupled to electrolysis has the potential to convert and store solar energy into clean hydrogen using a tiny fraction of the world`s desert area to meet our present and future global energy needs. Photovoltaics, in turn, has the versatility required for supporting the creation of a distributed energy generation infrastructure in developing countries especially now that the price of PV solar electricity has fallen to unprecedented low levels. In all these cases, solar H2 will be used to store energy and release it on demand either for fuel cells (to power homes and boats) or internal combustion engines and turbines (for powering cars, trucks and in thermoelectric power units). This book on solar hydrogen is unique in its field and is a timely treatment of a hot topic in industry, academic, political and environmental circles. With reference to many examples as well as to new technologies, this accessible book provides insight into a crucial technology for our common future and numerous colour pictures contribute to the book`s readability. Written by experts in the field who are engaged at the forefront of research, the book supplies readers with last minute insight from the frontiers of research. The book will be of interest to Politicians, solar PV companies, hydrogen and sustainability researchers, environmentalists, managers in the automotive and nautical industries, undergraduate and graduate students in physics, chemistry, energy and materials science.
