The above photograph depicts the 15kW wind turbines and solar modules with manual tracking system during the site commissioning in late April 2010.
This system includes a total of 8 x 15kW turbines and 240kWp of solar PV. In addition, the system incorporates a 360v battery bank rated at 6000Ah that is capable of 2.16MWh energy storage.
Brent Kreuger and his partner Monica were the first to overwinter in the Craik Eco-Village where they built their Praxis International Institute boarding school and home after “a meeting of the minds” when they met with the local sustainability committee and plopped down their money to buy a lot in the Eco-Village for a dollar.

Malaysian school in Mentadak Baru using 130W Mitsubishi solar modules as designed and implemented by Optimal Power Solutions Malaysia for the Sabah Schools project.
Once the house was finished, the airstream was moved to an outlying five acres and served as our gust house.
The Santa Cruz system was completed in 2005 by Optimal Power Solutions. The system compromises a 90kW Inverter capacity with 137kW PV including diesel gensets in a hybrid, off-grid setup.
The above photograph depicts the AC Switching Cabinet (ACSC), Multi Genset Control System (MGSC) and Station Control Module (SCM) for the Caribbean renewable hybrid project.
The AC system sources are switched through a customised AC switching cabinet that is rated at 1.5 MW. In addition, OPS supplied a Station Control Module that incorporates local and remote access to the system.
These ancillary system components have years of field-hardened experience in OPS projects. The MGSC has been specifically developed to operate and automate a number of diesel generators at a typical isolated power station: it can interface with a HPC or other OPS hardware to achieve a seamless power supply system.
This is the giant 1,000 gallon water tank that the friendly folks at Paris Farmers Union dropped off yesterday.
The bond beam that sits on top of the tires is a mixture of concrete and pop cans.

The hot water system of the Kinney family Earthship. There is a large, standard hot water tank that the solar thermal system feeds into. Above that there is a tankless propane fired hot water system for backup. Photo David Dodge, Green Energy Futures www.greenenergyfutures.ca
A recent 'Off Grid' solar system we have installed enabling this field classroom to enjoy the benefits of 'mains' electricity at any time.
Low cost systems such as this can be fitted to anywhere without power to provide lights, fridge, etc
