Turning Wind into Electricity
Wind Power Systems designed by Energy Matters that incorporate Micro Wind Turbines, usually feed power produced from both the wind turbine into a battery bank. Energy from the battery bank is then utilised directly in your standard household appliances, with any excess feeding directly into your local electricity grid.
Where Wind Turbines can be Installed and Used
- Wind turbines can be installed on properties, on boats, or caravans
- Getting a wind turbine depends entirely on the amount of wind generated in your area
- The first thing you need to do is to find out the average speed in your area (click through to the website for more information)
Benefits of Wind Power
If a Wind Power System is suitable for your location, advantages include the following:
- One wind turbine can be sufficient to generate energy for a household
- More cost effective source of renewable energy compared with solar power
- Good power source for cloudy days
- Battery Backup for blackouts is a cost effective optional extra
- Wind power is a clean energy source that can be relied on for the long-term future
Solar Power - Clean Electricity Courtesy of the Sun
- Solar power is the cleanest, greenest and most viable form of renewable energy available to help power your residence.
- The availability and wide use of solar power shows exactly how versatile it is as a source of energy; particularly in a sun-drenched country such as Australia.
- The technology and the systems are becoming smaller, more economical, efficient and better looking than ever.
Why Choose Solar Power?
- Australia is the luckiest country in the world in that our geography gives us an excellent opportunity to use the most natural, sustainable and clean energy in our homes – the energy from the sun.
- We also have various renewable energy rebates available to us, bringing down the cost of solar power substantially.
Different Types of Solar Power
The two main type of solar power are grid connect and off grid (stand alone):
- With a grid connect system, you are still connected to the mains power supply, so battery storage is not required.
- An off grid system is completely separated from mains power and utilizes a deep cycle battery bank for storing electricity.
Other applications for solar power include hot water systems and solar powered pumping.
