My Solar Power System

Cheers, very interesting..

Hi,
great help,thankyou,just setting my own up,so really helpful,cheers

More like wind farms, yes I know you would not be independent from the power companies. But I was talking about the nation as a whole

he is supposed to use offshore wind from his house? How the heck would that work?

Really great demo of your set up. It motivated me to begin my own. Thanks!

Solar in the UK???
Well whatever works!
I think you guys are better off with offshore wind though.

Wonderful!

Leading the way…
Keep going, get the word out.

Hi, the cost is whatever you can get an 80 watt panel, charge controller and batteries for, if you get a 20 amp charge controller then you can start with a small panel and add to the system as you can afford to, check your local suppliers and also ebay often have good prices on panels. I would recommend a new panel if possible because they will drop their output over time and the technology of recent panels makes them more efficient.

Nice setup!

Yes, how much did the setup cost?

What was the total cost of the product with instalation?

The sun sweeps round so regardless of east or west, the south facing panel will get it. If you dont do that you will potentially only get half a days power as the shadow in the afternoon will cut it out.

nice one mate. good vid

how much did all that cost you m8 wb

Jon sorry if this has been covered but how much did you spend on the batteries and panel + inverter. Looking for a ball park figure for total spend inc. all the miscellaneous stuff that inevitably inflates the bills.

Liberal myths, liberal lies. Solar power should be banned within 1000 feet ot schools or areas where children play. Solar panels are a dangerous propaganda tool to lure children away from God and the conservative lifestyle to a lifestyle of satan, homosex and paganism. One world One religion.

thanks for that! Seems a lot eaiser that I initially thought. Can you recommend any sites with information on calculating your needs to ensure you have enough battery?

Nice work on the video, nice system

Thanks for that. I am in California and am very aware of the costs of power lately and am thankful to know that there are alternatives available to me in terms of alternate energy. Kudos!

Excellent video. We are suffering from power outages here in SA and I was happy to see so many videos on solar power. Thanks also for showing the brand names – it helps.

First rate video and thanks for doing your part to make this a better world. If governements can't act it's incumbent upon the people to do what they can.

there are 8 ceiling lights in my house, each uses a low energy bulb 11w, if they were all on it would take about 88w from the inverter which is about 9 amps from the batteries.

that controller is a 20amp load out controller, ain't it?..and do you managed to have home lighting running on a 20 amp load? What is the power of the inverter?

Thanks for the video! It's interesting to see a solar system IN USE and practical. Great job. I'm considering a system to power my electric motorcycle (video on youtube) and found your video helpful.

Hi, yes i have to be very careful with the system in the winter. i only use the house lights on it and have to make sure I turn them off if i'm not in the room. The summer is no problem though. take it easy jonny

A very clear description and explanation. You seem to have a lot of equipment running from one 80 Watt system. Have you had any problems so far and what will be your next project ?
