1.1.3.3 Electricity

In Reynolds’Iconcept, Earthships areIequipped with solarIpanelsIand small wind turbines andIa battery to collectIand store enoughIenergy to properly supplyIthe house withIelectricity. Most of theIEnergy isIgathered viaIphotovoltaic panelsIwhich convert sunlightIinto smallIcharges ofIelectricity. ThisIenergy is thenIsupplied toIbatteries andIstored there. This is muchIthe same as a tin roofIgathering rainIand delivering itIinto a barrel. The electricity is gathered and stored and then passes throughIan inverter, whichIchanges it from DC toIACIpower.
