How to connect a solar panel to an outlet?

October 29th, 2009

Blake F asked:


I have a cabin in the woods and need more light. I do have enough sun but I was wondering how or where do I get a solar panel to lead to a power outlet? In a perfect world I would like to get a solar panel with a connecting wire to an outlet or something so I could power a small TV. I know its hard enough but can I get that pre-made? Or even lastly should I look at wind power consider I would like this to be under $500? Thank you for putting up with this bundle of questions.

J12 asked:


I’m looking a battery for use with solar power and it has the following specs.

Volts 12
Capacity @ 20-hr rate 120
Capacity @ 100-hr rate 145

How does this translate into running a 1000 watt appliance and how long you can run it with this battery.

How to control the fluctuation of energy in wind turbine?

October 29th, 2009

hwaj99 asked:


Due to the change in the wind speed, the speed of the wind turbine rotor changes, so at the output we get variable AC supply which means we do not get exactly constant voltage and frequency.

It can be control by controlling shaft speed and at the output by varying the load (Resistance).

I need to submit a case study about that so tell me about any site or e-book where I can find comprehensive details about that.
