The Green Optimistic: Solar Panel System: How to Build a Cheap One

The Green Optimistic: Solar Panel System: How to Build a Cheap One

"...Now the hardest part of building the solar panel system, which requires increased care and seriousness in the quality of the work done, is connecting the panel to a pack of batteries and then to an inverter. You can use a computer UPS (Uninterruptible Power Source) (used UPS), but you’ll need more power to power your home. However, the batteries don’t have to be new, and they can be the lead-acid type, but it’s advisable that you should buy specially crafted ones for power storage and deep cycle use, since car batteries can only cope with high loads for a short time, and if they’re accidentally discharged below a certain threshold, you lose them for good."

Comment: cheap solar panel, expensive electronics. Some skills needed. Please check the inverter output voltage (i.e.120V) for proper use.
