TECHNICAL INFORMATION LIBRARY

With the ever increasing bad weather events, the chances of loosing your primary commercial electrical source becomes a greater reality. Some members have on-going projects and completed energy sources for the "just in case" times. If you have an alternate energy source you would like to share with the group please email your information and pictures to AFF1W for inclusion in this forum.

Here is a article from AFA1LK Steve describes his solar and battery back up installation.
