Remember you already rely on a 12 volt battery
system for lighting A/c Heat and entertainment every day ..... in your car ! a charging system stores the energy in
the battery and your car runs off that battery not directly from the charger. You honestly are quite comfortable with a 12volt
system already !
Think about this , that system above produces only 45 watts of poer that does not sound like
much , and on average year round , you get 4 hours of usable sunshine per day . so that is a total of about 200 watts of power
for one 1 , that is stored in a battery .
a Dan-floss chest refrigerator uses 100 watts in 1 for a day over its
total of turning on and off during a 24 hour day , so that 45 Watt system stores enough energy to run the refrigerator and
have energy left over for lighting? or radio or your laptop .
a common deep cycle battery stores about 1,000
watts for 1 hour , that means a fully ccharged battery could run the frig for 10 days , now it is not good to totally discharge
a battery , but it is rare to have 3 days with NO SUN . so you keep your battery healthy and lasting for 5 years or more ,
so the cost would be , 170. for the energy the solar panels that will last for 25 years and 100 bucks for the battery recycling
them every 5 years .
piece together part by part and really thinking about WHY you use pert you can change your
world , 1 plug and play unit at a time
