Help!!! Need suggestions for a "green" backup power generator Hi All, I'm looking to put together a low cost dual power source generator using a solar panel and wind turbine. I have found solar panels on ebay (approx $500-$600), charge regulators, inverters and deep cells. I am having trouble with the wind turbine, I am looking for a 300W-500W small mobile unit. Something I can store away in the garage until needed. I did manage to find some marine units (very pricey). (http://www.bestmarineimports.com/Windgenerators.html) Any ideas? or am I just nuts?

Re: Help!!! Need suggestions for a "green" backup power generator There are small units that are designed for RVs and the like. Sorry, no links right now.

Re: Help!!! Need suggestions for a "green" backup power generator there was some home built wind turbines using automotive alternators that can produce around 400 to 500 watts very good for repairability and spare parts and much cheaper than more efficient models. Im building one now when i get it finished ill post a photo there was a link through one of these gim posts to something similar

Re: Help!!! Need suggestions for a "green" backup power generator my dad built a water wheel on a creek at his gold mine, small enough that you could jump across it, and was able to run almost 1000w of appliances and lights from it... he didn't even have to build a dam...

Re: Help!!! Need suggestions for a "green" backup power generator I don't even know if this is a good idea or not. I was also thinking of just using a wind generator only (no solar) to cut costs. Does anybody know of a decent DC - AC inverter? There is a huge huge difference in pricing on them, and I couldn't tell you a good one from a bad one.

Re: Help!!! Need suggestions for a "green" backup power generator Look here. They also have wind systems http://www.wholesalesolar.com/inverters.html Quote:
