Re: [A/S] Univolt and Solar Power



Hunter,
TANSTAAFL:

You can operate off-grid exactly as you would when you're plugged in.
All it takes is money. The less attention you wish to pay to your usage,
the more it costs. Without doing any math, I can tell you that 4 Golf
Cart batteries and 4 75-watt panels would be a good start for what you
describe. Those panels are about 21" X 48", IIRC.

Do read Mark's page on solar, also Fred's Poop Sheets on the subject.
The solar sheet is at: http://www.phrannie.org/solar.html and is
excellent.
