Comments on: How many watts do I need for a laptop – and other solar power questions? http://solarpowerforhomesonline.com/946 News and reviews of solar power products Sat, 22 Oct 2011 05:08:43 -0400 hourly 1 By: admin http://solarpowerforhomesonline.com/946#comment-1763 admin Sat, 22 Oct 2011 04:44:44 +0000 http://solarpowerforhomesonline.com/946#comment-1763 The only item which will consume any large amount of power will be the air conditioner. Your laptop is likely to be about 50 watts - they vary - the cell phone almost nothing. Table lamp - look at the watt rating on the bulb. An LED will be the lowest, but most expensive, but still worth it. Ceiling and floor fans are low, we have a 60" ceiling fan here which uses less than a 13 watt CFL on the lowest speed. The air conditioner could be 1,000 watts or more. That's an energy hog. The only item which will consume any large amount of power will be the air conditioner.
