Can A Pellet Stove Run Off of a Wind, Solar, and/or Battery System?
Wednesday
Feb 1, 2012
There are areas of the country where customers are using the MagnuM Pellet Stoves off of the grid; Western Montana and Arizona to mention a couple. The Forest Service in Montana is using our model BC-DC up in the mountains where there is no power. The MagnuM DC powered units are very frugal on power usage so they make a perfect application for wind power, solar and battery operation. There are several companies that provide small wind and solar units for small usage products like this or you can tap into your whole house system. The appliance requires a constant 14 volt with a solid 5 amps of current. Proper filters must be installed in the system to prevent voltage surges and variances in volts and cycles. The wind or solar generator companies can help with that.
The only problems that we have seen thus far is if the wind, solar or battery system does not provide a constant 14 volt input. This is easily rectified by having adequate battery storage and voltage stabilizers in the system. If the battery volts drop below 9 volts, the unit will automatically shut down. If you are on only battery power, the self ignition system will not work and you need to light the stove manually. This is a great way to heat off the grid and save precious energy.
Are you using your stove off the grid? Have you utilized solar, wind or battery systems instead of electricity to power your stove? We’d love to hear from you!

American Energy Systems was contacted a few days ago by an individual who had some questions about an older wood burning appliance that we was considering. Since the appliance he was referencing was quite old, we made sure he was aware that there are current compliance, certification, and insurance related issues he will want to explore further. In response to our technical assistance and answering his series of questions, he had the following to say:
Are Magnum Countryside and Country Flame appliance manuals available online?

Another Happy Stove Owner

Dear American Energy Systems,

Well I am not sure how you did it, since UPS told us overnight was not possible to here. However, we did receive the harness overnight, and it arrived about 7 pm on 12/14. We were able to get the stove rewired without too much trouble, and the notes you put on the diagram helped us a lot. We did have to jumper the switches together since our Reliant T40 had 3 instead of 2. We did test it last night and it seemed to be ok.
This afternoon we were able to get it outside to test it to see if it would work completely correct, and it did. We got our stove installed again in its spot this evening around 6 pm and our house is finally warm! It is putting off its lovely glow and blowing just like it should.
I am very happy that you helped us so much, and we do appreciate it very much. It has been a blessing to find your company and know that parts and service are still available for our stove. Again, thank you so much for all the help that you have given us. It is not forgotten nor fallen on deaf ears per say. I will make sure to pass on American Energy Systems info on to anyone I meet or know if they are looking for any info and/or parts or a stove.
We rent where we are, and I know for a fact that our great little stove will go with us no matter where we move to, even if it were FL.
No one around here (other companies) wanted to even look at our stove and only offered new ones with little to no service. Your help and assistance has been a blessing to us this year and is greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from a happy customer in NE Utah.

A Sincere Letter of Thanks for Appliance Dependability
Tuesday
Dec 6, 2011
Dear American Energy Systems,
The years have gone by, and I have had the same results every time so I wanted to share them with your company. I am heating approximately 4500 sq feet of office space and warehouse.
Another heating season is starting, and I am very happy to inform you that I just had another flawless start up of both my heating units. I have an old 6500 furnace along with a baby corn stove. I am an extremely busy person, and maintenance is not one of my strong points. I am scared to confess that the past few years I have neglected to clean them after the heating season ended. In fact, I simply let the corn/wood pellets run out, the unit turned off, and that’s the way I left them all summer until just today. After a lot of vacuuming with my ash vac, I filled it, started it, and let them take off. These things are unbelievable. So, I simply wanted you to have my thanks for building such a solid unit, that even I can run it.
Ps, I will try to do a better job servicing my units this year. I want them to continuing saving me boat loads of money. One more thing: with natural gas it was costing up to $1000 a month to heat my office area. Now, it takes a pallet of corn which runs around $300 a month. HUGE savings there. Thank you very much for helping me buy my snow mobiles.
Sincerely,
Michael
