Welcome to my blog

Hi. My name is Nathan. I am currently in an Architectural Engineering Program in Kamloops BC. I am doing a research project on finding the best way to power an off grid cabin located deep in the mountains in northern BC. I will be looking into different kinds of green power. Feel free to comment on anything. Thank you.

In case anybody happen to come across my page...

Just was thinking that if anybody had any knowledge on a couple catagories (Solar Power, Sun Studies for Norther BC, Micro Hydro, Storage batteries) that you could post them on my blog.   This would greatly help out my Research Project.

I appretiate any comments.
even if you only say hi  :)

    Hey Nathan,
    My project is sorta similar to yours in that both our sites are located up in Nothern BC.
    On my site in Atlin BC there is hydro power that is being generated from a river near by, and I have been looking at this one site where it ways the pros and cons of hydro and if it is a good idea for certain sites and hopfully this can give you some insite on whether hydro would be good for your project.

    Hi Scoobs,

    This is an article from Popular Science a year or so ago dealing with lithium ion storage batteries. I don't know if it would correlate to your project or if it's what you're looking for but I thought it was pretty innovative.

    Hey Nathan,

    I been looking into some sites for my project as well to determine how much power I can generate. It would seem that we have to decide on an actual model. Once you have a name brand chosen, they list their power output given sunlight accessible. Hope this helps.

    Hey, if you're looking for solar panels you could use this program to calculate how much energy you can get from them. Just go to http://www.retscreen.net/ang/home.php

    Thanks mark. This Looks pretty good. I still have to figure out how to use this software but it looks good. thanks for putting me onto this page.

    Hi Nathan, I found this blurb here about micro hrydo energy alternatives, thaought it held some useful information to you. Heres the link
