Solar Energy System Cost

Sheila Said:

can anyone tell how to build a 48vdc solar wind hybrid energy system, what's the cost to do so.?

We Answered:

i can't explain it in words , i need to draw a diagram

i built a 12v dc/ 240v ac system for my brothers house bus.

i wouldn't recommend using wind, its a waste of time, it isn't efficient enough for the money you spend.
most turbines are only 5% efficient (i have no idea why governments are pushing for them???)
and it's really noisy too

solar is really good though.

it cost us about $2200 new zealand dollars to set up
i'm an electrician, so that cost is only for the parts
he's running a 3000 watt inverter, two t.v's, microwave, washing machine, water pump, lighting, big stereo, computer, etc.. and the battery has never gone below 95% . the system has two 180 amp/hour deep cycle batterys and one 105 watt solar panel mounted flat on the roof.

i'd need to know what your requirements are (what you wanna run)
to help suss out a system
