Supplemental electrical generation apparatus and method
First Claim
1. An improved supplemental electrical generation apparatus comprising:
- a. a power generation device;
b. a charge controller connected with said power generation device wherein said charge controller is adjustable so as to regulate power from said power generation device to maximum amounts acceptable for charging a particular battery;
c. at least one battery with a particular battery strength and storage capacity and a particular charge time, said at least one battery connected with said charge controller wherein the storage, capacity of said at least one battery is used to adjust said charge controller such that said at least one battery is charged to a selected maximum battery strength and storage capacity and wherein a number of batteries is selected to match a maximum power out from said power generation device such that said batteries are charged in a minimum charge time;
d. a DC power port connected with said at least one battery;
e. an inverter connected with said at least one battery for converting DC to AC and providing AC power wherein said inverter is adjustable so as to monitor power status of said at least one battery and power demand and accepts power directly from said power generation device when said at least one battery is fully charged or accepts power directly from said at least one battery when said power generation device is not producing power and further, when no power is demanded, it directs power from said power generation device to said at least one battery when said at least one battery is below a preselected maximum power level; and
f. an AC power port connected with said inverter.
