ADAPTABLE AND SMOOTH RUNNING SYSTEM Once your system is in place, it will run smoothly and require very little maintenance. It will generate electricity and will recharge itself through your solar panels and/or wind generators. The most important things you have to remember is to properly maintain your batteries and limit your energy consumption for which your system has been previously set up. If your needs change, you will simply have to tailor your system to your new specific requirements and you will be powered up!

Energy consumption patterns change and may vary when modifying the number of electrical appliances or if you decide to enjoy a longer stay at the cottage. Plan and manage your energy consumption modifications to alter you system accordingly, consequently taking full advantage of energy efficiency. SOLAR OR WIND POWER? Wind generators will derive greater efficiency from constant wind, such as open water wind. A wind generator is an ideal solution if your cottage is located on a flat and open area, free from surrounding obstacles to the wind flow. Have you ever thought about a hybrid generating station? At night your wind generator charges your batteries and on sunny days the solar panels combine their power! INCREASING NEEDS = HIGHER VOLTAGE Alternative energy give you the flexibility to build your system in 12, 24 or 48 volts. The size and voltage of your system can be increased or adjusted to suit your needs and environment. Visit your nearest Batteries Expert and discover helpful options.
