Use the Sun’s Power on Power-Outages

There you are working away and a rolling “Brown-Out” occurs or an outright power failure and it’s the middle of winter! You have several choices: Freeze, go to a shelter, trust the Sun’s Power for your Power!
Whaaat??? For the cost of a few hundred dollars and a little elbow grease, you can build yourself a backup power that will at least give you the ability to have lights and maybe a little more power for other things.
We’re talking about building your own Solar Energy Charging Backup Power System!
This can be as small system that provides power for your laptop and cell phone if you wish or you can go nuts and convert you’re entire house!

In a nutshell you’ll need:

1. Deep Crank 12 Volt Battery used for Boats,
2. Solar Energy to charge the Deep Crank Battery,
3. Power Inverter to change the DC current to AC,
4. And possibly an extension cord to connect your devices.

Now, of course we’ve included links to where you can easily purchase your equipment in this article!

We’ll assume that you want to start small. Use safety precautions when building this system and wear gloves as well as safety goggles!

1. Connect the Solar Panel according to it’s instructions to the Deep Crank Battery,
2. Connect the Power Inverter according to it’s instructions to the Deep Crank Battery as well,
3. Connect your extension cord to the Power Inverter and away you go!

In most cases, you should have 8 to 10 hours of power. Grass Roots Castle (GRC) has used this system on their campers for a number of years and we run our heater, lights and other electronic equipment on a day’s charge. Even when it’s overcast you still receive the UV rays necessary to charge your system. So, even in winter this system is able to sustain itself!

If you’d like to convert you’re entire house over to this type of system there are numerous books on Converting your house to Solar!

Thank you for your attention and time! Have a great solar day!

A glaring opportunity for Internet Marketers!

Grass Roots is amazed at the lack of businesses not considering the affiliate programs on the internet! An affiliate program allows internet businesses to sell products and services via the multitude of web sites without the person maintaining the website having do anything but collect their piece of the pie!

There’s a plethora of Eco-friendly online business How-to books, DVDs and CDs. But it seems that the internet business guru’s haven’t got the hint that Eco-friendly online business products could be more profitable than the run of the mill items.

Some of most popular items are PC, Satellite, Phone and Download affiliate programs! These are like cash machines whereby you just generate a website and include the links for the affiliate program and away you go! There’s even free submittal services that will push your site around the world instantly. Grass Roots favorite is Free Website Submit. However, if you just want everything done for you for a few bucks you might want to consider Site Builder Elite all in one software.

Grass Roots feels that the Hydrogen Economy is coming and those that are going to be the next billionaires should seriously consider the world’s largest communication medium, the internet and it’s affiliate programs!
