University of Louisiana at Lafayette’s BeauSoleil Home: 2009 Solar Decathlon
BeauSoleil’s north-south orientation takes advantage of local breezes. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide ventilation and natural light, and louvered shutters and structural insulated panels reinforce the house against hurricane-force winds.

Grid Tie Inverter & Lead Acid battery to Alkaline battery projects update! Thanks to Sean, I have 2 test batteries, they are standard lead acid batteries that would find in any car. These batteries are pretty dead and dont pull many amps, they are weak but I will be taking the acid out of them and converting them to Alkaline batteries. I will be using allum for this up and coming project. The next up coming video will be my grid tie project and review. I will use my solar panels that make DC power from the sun.. The Grid tie inverter will take that DC power and turn it into AC and pipe it back into my homes electrical system. So the more solar panels and more grid tie inverters I have the less I will pull from the power grid. This is pretty exciting and I will share all my findings with everyone. Stay tuned and be sure to subscribe and share my videos with your friends! All the best, -Pete Mixcat.com
