small solar system help
Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2017 12:26 pm
I am out of town currently. My best friend has purchased a 100 year old home for his family...long back story. They are in the process of a serious rebuild and I came out for a week to help with demo and some ancillary build work. Saving them many thousands on not having the contractors do the demo...
We are repurposing a screened building into a work shop for him. The current electrical system is SHITE. He wants to put in a solar unit to provide for the lights and small power consumption in this shop. Goal for the solar system is to be able to run several LED shop lights in a 30x18 building, run some local application lights as well as some minor appliances such as a dremel... Real power will be run from a generator as on demand until it makes sense (a year or three) to run appropriate land power to the shop. So running AC, Radial arm saw, drill press and the like will come from a generator for now.
I don't have my normal laptop with the solar sites bookmarked.
I need some sites for buying components for a .75k-1.5k system. Batteries, PV cells, inverters and the like. I want to DIY it to save cash as opposed to one of the buy here pay here rape places.
Thanks in advance.
