how can i set up a solar panel just to power a couple of light globes in my home?
does anyone know of a good website that can show me how to rig up a solar panel, battery and inverter to power a few energy saver light globes (say 10-15 watt each), in my house? thanks
and i was thinking of using a car battery for power storage, is this appropriate? what are the possible limitations of doing this, are there any hazards?
Depending on your knowledge you may buy a kit and observe the parameters.
You will need about 25 square inch per watt
You may need a battery to store the energy
You will have to calculate the size based on your requirements target.
You have to engineer the whole thing; it is fun and very educative.
Autoparts and camping stores have small affordable panels.
Electronic stores have the rest.
Or you can buy a small solar lantern take it appart and reverse engineere-it!
Hope this properly answers your question
