dutchroll Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 We have installed an 8kw system, completely off the grid, on our new property which we're moving into at the end of next month. Does that help anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_d Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 diesel supplement!,I like the methane powered gen_set of J Roberts the recycling man. spacesailor Was that the thing I saw on Gardening Australia on Saturday? There was a segment on a compost manufacturing plant that turns waste food into compost and uses the by-product methane gas as power generation. Powers the whole plant and they export a heap to the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bexrbetter Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 diesel supplement!,I like the methane powered gen_set of J Roberts the recycling man. spacesailor I did some contract problem solving work for a mob that had big Cat diesels and a genny inside a container that was planted on old rubbish dumps to power them (methane). At least 20 years ago, can't remember their name but was in Brissy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
