Complete Solar Panel Packages
Can someone give me an estimate on how much it would be to purchase a compete package off grid soloar statio?
I mean the whole sha bang batteries something to control the batteries from over charging or reverse charging a big solar panel. If someone can give me a link to where i can buy a complete package for a solar off grid stand alone energy system. I need a system that will crank out about how much a regular house uses for lights a refrigerator maybe a laptop everything that you would normally use in a regular house. I am building a 2000 sq ft cabin in montana in the mountains and i need a sufficient energy source can someone help me
I have lived off grid for a number of years 3 years ago.
I paid 9K. That included installation (at 110.00 /hr.) and the batteries and a free standing 8 panel. It also included a gas refrigerator that was 1000.00 dollars U.S.
What you have to do is know what you can not do without. It was just my husband and I and a 1300sf home on 20 acres at 5000 ft.
When the sun was out…all the time in the high desert, it would charge and we always went into the night with batteries full. It gained 10% on a full moon night too. it would charge through several inches of dry desert snow. Wet snow may be different.
It is not expensive in that you get a return as soon as you use it.
Think of it this way…how much did you pay for your last new car? what were your payments? Now instead of buying the car buy the solar. We had a big generator and used it for charging less than 4 hours the last year we were there. I cleaned house and ran the t.v all the time and turned on the lights.
Change your bulbs for lights to low watt and get a gas refrigerator. We used about 7 dollars every couple of months for gas.
EDIT: I consider it cheap in the long run . The government gives big rebates and that cuts the cost and when you buy your car you have lost at least 1/2 the cost you paid for it as soon as you drive it off the lot.If your electric bill is 200.00/month and you put in what we did it would not take you long to ‘pay’ for the system. and a year at 2400.00 adds up fast.
Our batteries were guarantied for 15 years and our car was not. Also we did not have to pay Calif. state income tax for all the years we lived there after putting it in. Our deep cell batteries , at the time, were a little over 100.00 each.
