Radiant Floor Solar Heated Water Solar Electricity Micro Hydro Wind Energy

 

 

 

Long Branch, Swannanoa, NC

 
Description of the project

This project started with a solar deep-well water pumping system.  The solar  array powers the pump lifting  water 300’ @ 3 GPM  (  that’s 720 Gallons for every 4 hrs. of good sunlight ) to a  1000 Gals. storage,  approximately  60’ above the yurt.

  The electric power system is housed in a 12’ X 24’ insulated shed and eventually will power not only the yurt but also another home on the property. Currently the power plant is a 12 KW generator (future back-up power).    Two 850 Amp Hrs /  48 Volt  industrial  type lead acid batteries stores the electricity produced by the generator. Two 5500 Watt inverters powers the yurt with AC-power and acts as battery chargers when the generator is running ( automatic start based on battery level )  Future plans are for the energy to  be produced by  renewable energy from wind and solar

“I found working with Solar Dynamics very beneficial to me particularly because having my water well pumped by solar energy was a very new bit of technology for me and it was explained in a way that even a novice could understand.  Also, great effort was expended to make sure that I didn’t get started off on a path that would not be compatible with my longer term plans.’       Mitch Alford    Long Branch Project
