Solar Power House System

Amanda Said:

how much solar power needed?

We Answered:

5 X 60W = 300W load
for how many hours a day?
say 10 for ease of calculation
so 3000W / Hour capacity

how many hours of sun do you get?
say 6

so 3000 / 6 = 50 Watt so about 70W PV panels
double that for safety and longevity factors

300W inverter

12V battery with 3000W / 12 = 250 A/H (will be poor performance)
go with 24V system
24 V batteries at 125 A/H capacity
get 2 large ( largest) truck or bus batteries you can find in used auto or truck parts and test how it works before spending thousands$$$$
