Open Grid
What is the best way to power an off-grid electrical panel?
I have a cabin that I have wired with a traditional house panel, which is for 60Hz, 240V single phase as used in all US applications. I have a 1500W inverter that I was pondering using, but was concerned that I cannot simply run a feeder from each of the two 110 plugs to each side of the bar as it may be an issue with the phases. Any thoughts? I'm trying to do this on a budget, but am open to any options.
Thanks,
Yes, you could put both of the "hot" legs together and connect to the "hot" leg of the inverter, the neutral of course goes to the neutral. The two recepts on your inverter are simply tied together. Myself, I would just wire the panel to a single plug to go to the inverter, that way there is no chance of having just one plug connected and the other with a potentially hot prong exposed. Two plugs will work though.
I believe that the NEC does permit this (feeding both hot connections of the panel from a single line) as long as there are no multi-wire (edison) circuits with a neutral smaller than the total amperage capacity of your power source. With your 1500w inverter, this is not a problem.
Of course there will be no 240v power available as previously mentioned.
Until you actually try it out, you might be disappointed with inverter power. I have a 1400w (1500 peak) sine wave inverter, starting a refer is out. Even my big electric drill will cause it to trip out if the drill bit gets stuck. Radio, TV, lights and such are fine other than some interference to weak tv or radio signals from the inverter.
If you need more power, you may consider just getting a regular AC power generator (4kw units are very common) that you would run during the day when you need a lot of power and then switch over to the inverter in the evening and overnight hours when the load is lighter.
What is going to power the inverter? Obviously a battery (or group of them) but what charges the battery? Battery maintenance is important, recharge as soon as possible and equalize occasionally.

Open Grid Services Infrastructure $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Open Grid Services Infrastructure (OGSI) was published by the Global Grid Forum (GGF) as a proposed recommendation in June 2003. It was intended to provide an infrastructure layer for the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA). OGSI takes the statelessness issues (along with others) into account by essentially extending Web services to accommodate grid computing resources that are both transient and stateful.Web services groups started to integrate their own approaches to capturing state into the Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF). With the release of GT4, the open source tool kit is migrating back to a pure Web services implementation (rather than OGSI), via integration of the WSRF.

Open Grid Forum $66.91 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Open Grid Forum (OGF) is the community of users, developers, and vendors leading the global standardization effort for grid computing. It was formed in 2006 in a merger of the Global Grid Forum and the Enterprise Grid Alliance. The OGSA, OGSI, and JSDL standards were created by the OGF. The OGF models its creations of open standards on the IETF. The OGF has two principal functions (plus an administrative function) being the development of Standards relating to Grids, and the building of Communities within the overall Grid community (including extending it to encompass wider participation from both academia and industry). Three meetings are organized per year, divided (approximately evenly after averaging over a number of years) between North America, Europe and East Asia. Many working groups organize facetoface meetings in the interim. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Zero Linden and others discuss Open Grid, part 2
Having an Off-The-Grid Home - Is it Possible?
What does it take to have an off-the-grid home? Can you just install solar panels and then never have to deal with the local electric utility again? Think about it - you become energy independent, no more huge electric bills, no more huge electric rate increases. Is an off-the-grid home really possible? A lot of that depends upon where you live and how much time and money you are willing to commit to install and maintain your own home solar power system.
The first thing to take into consideration when determining if you can live in an off-the-grid home is where you live. You need to find out the average number of hours of sunlight your area gets (search the web for peak sun hours). Remember, you only create solar power while the sun is shining on the solar panels. The lower number of hours of sunlight, the more solar panels (also known as PV, or photovoltaic, panel) are needed to satisfy your power needs. Also, you need physical area to mount the PV panels. Do you have ample area on your rooftop or open ground area that has open access to the sun (i.e. no trees, houses, etc that would block out sunlight)?
To live in an off-the-grid home also means that you have to store electricity in batteries in order for it to be available at night and during overcast days. You will need to buy and maintain enough deep-cycle batteries to store enough electricity to get you through one to three days of cloudy weather. You'll also need plenty of dedicated storage space for all those batteries. Keeping the batteries maintained is the largest part of maintenance for your off-the-grid home. The rest of your home solar power system is very low maintenance. You'll also have to plan in the expense of replacing the batteries periodically (unlike the PV panels, which are usually warrantied for 20 - 25 years).
With an off-the-grid home it is also beneficial to keep a backup generator just in case of a long stretch of cloudy weather or storm that lasts beyond your battery storage capacity. Generators typically use either gas or diesel fuel. But, if you want to stay "green" you'll probably want to use biodiesel.
So, yes it is possible to have an off-the-grid home, but it's not a simple or cheap project that can be done in a weekend or two. But the benefits to both the earth and your wallet are enormous. Let's say you had to spend $50,000 to install your home solar power system so you have an off-the-grid home. With the 30% federal tax credit on the solar panel installation, that brings the effective price to $35,000. Most states also have solar tax credit incentives, so you might be looking at anywhere from like $30,000 to $25,000. With the savings of a typical electric bill of $200/month, you would have payback of your system in 15 years. But the PV panels usually last for 20 - 25 years, so you'll have free electricity for 5 - 10 years, a savings of $12,000 to $24,000. And that's assuming electric prices don't increase over the next 20 years!
