I invented a breakthrough source of energy which violates the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which violate the law of energy conservation. Making a 6 kW generator will cost $1200 in mass production, value of energy produced yearly $5400. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and $3M for patents.H.

"DC current is used to charge batteries." (wikipedia) So why are the batteries behind the inverter?

HOW MUCH DOES THIS SOLAR PANELS COST FOR A 400 m2 AREA?

@frankendependence How much is the whole system?

Im supposed to research on this topic for some gay writing class I'm taking but I was wondering, can we create our own source of solar power, that is can we essentially create our own little "sun"? comment in my profile if you have anything good to say.

how does rain or snow ... water in general effect the solar panels? is there any deprecation of solar panels?

lol so u wont have to pay bills anymore

Solar energy has become increasingly important to industrially developed countries as the effects of fossil fuels are linked to global warming and pollution. A company that offers a vital product, energy transformers, to the renewable energy sector is Pacific Crest Transformers. Pacific Crest Transformers manufactures energy efficient liquid-filled distribution transformers for a wide range of industry verticals.

Great video...I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a video about it called, "Preparing for Peak Oil"....

great video!the only problem is the graph at 0:55, where it states that AC power goes from the inverter to the Batteries. Batteries are charged via DC.
