Portable Power: Using Deep Cycle Battery, Inverter and Solar Panels?

We Answered:

NO it won't work, the inverter is to convert DC into AC similar to household supply, The waveform tends to be squarish, wheras the house current has a proper sine wave. Household appliances ONLY work on AC
Don't experiment with high voltage DC from your batteries.

Does solar power work through windows?

We Answered:

It works fine through windows. You lose a little energy to the glass, but it's not a significant amount and solar panels still work fine in indoor sunlight.

You should buy one anyway , so you can learn about solar power. it is more involved than most people understand.

Another good site is " solar bob" to learn more about it. it would be good for you to learn more about it so you can use it in the future for whatever pourpose you wish.
