 Why solar/wind?
Due to the rise in power consumption, transmission rates,
fossil fuels,economic insecurities, foreign relations, and not to
mention the earth, our lives, corporate greed,
and our children's future.
WHY NOT?
A new energy bill has been signed in 2009 for many extended
and new tax incentives, government loan and state rebates.
Investing in solar/wind is more affordable then ever before. The more
the utility rates go up the more you save. Now we can make
a difference. Solar/wind systems are available for all kinds of
application big and small. All of the systems are expandable
for future needs. From small residential or large residential systems
Leamy Electric Inc can provide and install one that fits your needs.

How On-Grid or Grid-Tied Solar Energy Systems Work
What’s the difference between ON THE GRID and OFF THE GRID solar systems?
On the grid means that your solar system is hooked into the utility company.
Off the grid means you are not connected to the utility company.
It’s more efficient to be hooked to the utility grid because off grid systems must
store the energy, as in batteries. If you are on the grid, the utility company
stores the energy. The utility company keeps track of the kilowatts you use on
an hourly basis. During a sunny day, you can produce more energy than you are
using so your electric meter goes backwards and you build up
renewable energy credits (REC).
The goal of your solar power system on the grid is to produce as much power
over a twelve month period as you use. We feel this is the best system to install
and get more bang for your buck. There are many more rebate programs available
for on grid then off grid.
ON THE GRID DURING A SUNNY DAY
Solar electric systems generate electricity silently and without any moving parts.
Sunlight falls on the solar array and generates DC electricity. That DC electricity
is converted into household 120V AC electricity by the inverter. The AC electricity
is fed into your electric meter and circuit breaker panel. The electricity either goes
to your appliances and lights, or to the grid, or some to each. This happens
silently and automatically every day. This results you not having to have no
maitenence other then a random visual system check on occations.
ON THE GRID AT NIGHT OR DURING A CLOUDY DAY
At night and during cloudy weather, the solar system’s output is reduced or
stopped; however, your home then gets electricity from the utility grid. You
are always connected to the grid, so you can have as much power as you need,
any time you need it, regardless of whether the solar system is able to put out
any power. When the solar system does put out power, it reduces your usage
at the time, or, if there is excess, your meter spins backwards, counting down
your electric use and bill. A net meter is used to measure your PV production.
How much will solar power save on your electric bill?
How much you can save depends on your usage and variations in weather.
However, say your monthly electric bill is $132 a month when averaged over a year.
With solar power your bill could average only $15 a month. The reason we don't
reduce it to zero is that most utility companies will charge a minimum payment for
connection to the grid. There is no sense in having a larger solar array that would
bring your overall usage to zero.
This is the best and easiest way to go if you have utility and you want to reduce your
utility use as well as investment in you and your families furture.
Reducing your carbon foot print as well is also very rewarding.
We can offer a small 1000 watt system or 10,000 watt system. An average system is between 2kW and 10kW.

You have nothing to loose but your utility cost.
The systems today are more effiiant and cost effective then they have ever been.
It has taken us a year and a half to gather all this information. We at Leamy Electric
want you to be able to get all your information on one web site. We feel we can be
a one stop shop.
Do not delay-money is going quick
Please remeber that the rebates will be decreasing. Do not wait.
There is only a certian amount of money for all these rebates and it
can take up to 3 months to get the paper work completed.
Education is key:

Looking for wind?
Studying your local average wind speed.
windspeedmapfortheunitedstates
Something Cool
Homemade wind turbine. Yep, built it myself from scratch.
The blades and the housing are made out of 6"PVC. Has ran in 100MPH winds
Produces about 15 amps DC power at 25-30 MPH winds.
This is just a experiment and test. We do not recommend using PVC blades as they can get brittle
and break. Always use a carbon fiber or aluminum blade. We also recommend a 6 or 9 blade unit.
Two blades work well but a 6 or 9 blades will capture more wind for micro turbines.

Turbines off grid & on grid
Think $imple, think $mall when using micro on/off grid wind turbines.
Let's talk !!
Great for small independant or partial independent loads
Small independent: 100w to 2000w no utlity at all.Batteries
Partial indendent- Uses the grid as a back up W/ Batteries
Both can be used in the applications creating a hybrid sytem
Lets talk wind. I find it very facinating myself
We offer 12, 24, and 48 volt turbines. They can be mounted on a 1.5"-2" pole
and installed 20 to 40 ft. We can grid tie 24 and 48 volt turbines. Larger turbines as far
as energy production and height can require more township regulations.
Check your local codes.The micro turbines should be combined with your solar system.
To of set the production of solar in the winter months.Production starts in about
12 MPH winds. Some of these types can be for on grid as well.
The carbon fiber blades are gaurunteed
In the North East we get more wind in the winter and less solar
production so, both systems compensate for each other. In the night time the turbines
can also collect energy. Having a sunny and windy day can bring great results as well.
We deal with many micro turbines to fit your budget. From 200 watt to 1000 watt.
Our 1000w and 500w turbines are about as easy as it gets as far as componets.
Just coils, windings and bearings. The bearings are rated at 100,000 Hrs. and cost
about $5 to purchase new ones. Some micro turbines come with internal circuit boards
like the Air x or Wind Breeze. They are both good products.
The turbines produce 3 phase A/C so we can run a smaller wire to the
rectifier. The rectifier is mounted near the battery bank or gide tie inverter.
We also have the option of running D/C straight of the turbine as well.
That would be a 30A or 60A amp wire.
Mounting is no problem. We use rigid pipe, cement, and guyed wires with lock rings.
We can even mount up close to your home if your property is small.
We mount them on the side of the home with free standing poles and guyed wires.
Garages, homes, sheds, barns, and commerial bulidings can be roof mounted as well .
60-120 ft. tall 10kW 30f-60ft. tall 500w to 3000 watts
We offer custom solar sign lighting
Solar sign lighting can be combined with a wind turbine as well. We offer ground and
pole mountfor the panels.
Hybrid Solar Power Parking Lot Lighting
We can now retrofit parking lot lighting poles with our new system.
The system switches back and forth from solar energy to
the utility when the batteries are getting low. The solar power
is stored in the battery bank and released at nigt time with the smart
controller. Using an LED lighting with a useful life of upto 70,000 hrs and
light quality of 4500K and better the system can cut lighting cost by
up to 70%.
Solar/Wind Power Working
Guyed wires and cemented in the ground/ Solar panel and solar attic fan
This home has 3 wind turbines and 9 solar panels. Battery back
up system for grid faliure, geneator and grid tied.2000 watts of wind
and 1800 watts of solar. The power is never off in this home
Remember all systems due depend on locations, budgets, utlity rates and of course mother nature.

Vertical Axis Wind Turbines Commercial
Roof or pole mounted for buildings grid tie
no noise or vibration, just power.
Solar trees with Helix turbines on top. Solar awnings
Make a statement with your building.
System Wirring
New technology for the wind turbine design. These units are 1kW to 20kw
These units are for and residential and commercial applications. Ample space will be
needed. Pole or commercial roof mounted, they are very efficient and quiet.
They will produce with 12-14 MPH wind speeds. Battery or grid tie.
FYI
When you see the trees blowing hard or your cap is getting blown off,
that is a good gauge of when your turbine is making power. Yes, they do spin at a lower speed
but they start producing around 12-14MPH. Wind turbines work very well if you have wind. The best data is
by you.
If you are to consider a wind turbine study your applications. If you receive wind about every three days and
over 20MPH
this is a good application. This is also a good application to combine your solar panels with the wind turbine
grid tie or off grid.
When the sun goes down you can still make power if the wind is blowing and on a sunny windy day, your savings
are even better with both wind and solar. Most wind production is after the summer season our area for the wind.
Speaking Words of Truth to YOU
Charts and graphs will give you predictable average savings but, please always remember
mother nature is not always predictable. These systems will save and teach you how to conserve your energy use.
You will be amazed at how much more energy efficient you will become as an individual.
That my friends is what we all must become. Energy Efficient.

Your own Power Station off grid
Solar can even run just your outside lighting. Starting small is no problem.
Renewable Energy Kits "off grid" for:
Homes-Remote Cabins-Sheds-Garages-Barns
12-24-48 volt systems available
For pricing please contact us.
12, 24, and 48 volt Hybrid renewable energy systems
Internal circuit wiring may be rqured, sensor/smart switching, and CFLbulbs are not included. All work is based
on standard walkable shingled roofs. Pole mounts and ground mounts are alos avilable
Prices may vary due to location, roof pitch, ample space, and system modification.
The system production is based on the weather-mother nature.
In the summer months is where you will get full production from the solar panels.
Permit and inspection are not included if required.
Rember the summer is where you get full solar production, winter allows for about
half production. Sizing-using your sytem to work in the winter will require you to
double your solar energy production.
The wind turbine is used to supplement with the solar panels in the winter since
there is more wind speed in the winter months . Starting wind speed is about
10-12MPH. Acutual production starts at about 12-14MPH.
See the chart below to see what you can power.
It is mandatory that the off grid system is powering low wattage bulbs (CFL). If you do not
have them we can provide them for an extra cost. 9 to 14 watt CFL bulbs are recommended.
The batteries produce 12v and that voltage is sent to an inverter to make 120 volt house
voltage. This is a simple off grid system.
This is a great way to invest in alternative energy.
Ground mount is the most user freindly considering snow.
Starting out small is a very affortable investment, energy independent, and less Co2 foot
print as well as doing your part for your future. You can always add to your system.
Please remeber a battery system is more for the savey type. There are more things to
maintain but, they are a very easy way to power smaller loads for free.
We have small insallations for just walkway lighitng, pool lighting, sheds or any small size area.
To cover your whole house you will need an on grid system.
Sheds-Public Self Storage units-Small garages
Take a shed that has no electric to it. We can put up 2 or 3 panels and a battery bank
and you now have power to your shed. Now, you can also add landscape
lighting or walk way lighting where you may not have been able to add before.
The lower you keep your watts the less expensive the system is. We have a landscape
lighting 12v system that produes 50 watts of lighing per fixture and only use 5 watts of
power per fixture. Every kit or system is different based on how many ligths an how long
you want to run them. 120 volt for your shed. No problem . We install the 12v to 120v
inverter.
12v lighting and or 120 volt lighting and a GFCI for your shed.

A question people always ask me all the time
"I want to run my whole house off solar/wind." "Can I?"
Yes, that would be a larger off grid or on grid system. You
would not want to install an off grid system. It's just not worth it if
you already have utility. Loads with ranges, hvac, electric baseboard,
pool pumps, electric dryers, and washers just consume to much power
to install an off grid battery system. Yes, you can buy 12v appliances to
a degree.That woud help but not very common.
That is why we must custom taylor each off grid/on grid system.
This does not qualify for a rebate and would not be code compliant.
It also does not raise the value of your home. Homemade systems
are great for do it yourself projects but if you expect to get the most
out of your systems, please let us handle it.
What a mess
On grid is the way to go for covering your whole home or business
considering there are many more rebates available for grid tie. Off grid
will get you a 30% tax rebate. No state. Batteries to consider.
The batteries will last about 3-5 years. You will have to change them at
some point.
If you are interested in any of our solar and or wind products please let us
know. We can provide you with any installation accordng to your needs.
Considering we understatnd how electric componets work in your
house or business,we are your first choice for any renewable energy system
or product.
Fact:
Small wattages "off grid"
Large wattages and small wattages "on grid" covers everything
We can:
1. Replace your existing indoor/outdoor fixtures with LED or CFL lighting.
2. Install motion sensors and timers to keep run times down.
3. Install solar poducts including a hybrid, off grid or an on grid system
Sizing the system for yourself "off grid"
Thes are general calculations only
|
1:
How much energy can your battery store?
|
2:
How much energy will your appliance (s) use over a period of time?
|
3:
How much energy can a Solar panel generate over a period of time?
|
|
Battery capacityis measured in Amp Hours (eg 17AH). You need to convert this to Watt Hours by multiplying the AH figure by the battery voltage (eg 12V).
For a 17AH, 12V battery the Watt Hours figure is 17 x 12 = 204WH
This means the battery could supply 204W for 1 hour, or 102W for 2 hours i.e. the more energy you take, the faster the battery discharges.
|
The power consumption of appliances is given in Watts (eg 21" fluorescent light, 13W). To calculate the energy you will use
over time, just multiply the power consumption by the hours of use.
The 13W light fitting, on for 2 hours, will take 13 x 2 = 26WH from the battery.
Repeat this for all the appliances you wish to use, then add the results to establish total consumption.
|
The power generation rating of a Solar panel is also given in Watts (eg. 10W). To calculate the energy it can supply to the battery, multiply Watts by the hours exposed to sunshine, then multiply
the result by 0.85 (this factor allows for natural system losses).
For the Solar 10W panel in 4 hours* of sunshine, 10 x 4 x 0.85
= 34WH. This is the amount of energy the Solar panel can supply
to the battery.
|
|
Tip:
The bigger the battery, the more energy you can store so you can draw more power for longer.
|
Tip:
Look for energy-efficient appliances (low power consumption) so the battery lasts longer.
|
Tip:
Large panels can collect more energy in less time.
