Alternate Energy 6, Solar Homesteading, Survivalist Peak Oil
Posted by Paul Martin · 10 Comments
Part 6 in our series showing some Alternate energy systems. This 2 part set shows a VERY INEXPENSIVE (as far as AE goes) alternate energy setup that’s used at a hunting camp. If you already have a …
isnt there a special power box out there so you don’t have to get standard batteries and you get much better saved power?
So the inverter makes 1500 watts regardless of battery? I was under the impression that you needed a certain size battery to make that happen but it seems that is not the case. Also I was thinking of getting a 1Kw solar panel. Would this be too much power to run into a battery bank or just overkill? It seems having 200-300 watts worth of solar panels is fairly good.
Nice set-up – GREAT capacity on everything except you have just that one 120 watt panel. If you had another (240 watts total) that would make a huge difference.
what can you run and for how long? could I use this for a homesteading thing to run freezer, PC, fans and what not?
There is a small fridge at the hunting camp but it only gets used every so often. To use it regularly would require a little more input from more panels or a more regular charge via a generator. This system runs 3-4 ceiling fans for a weekend with no problems. It’s a SMALL system but it will do a lot if folks conserve and make smart choices with appliances.
thats cool and such
Now THAT’s funny…and I know funny (and such)
