I thought it might be interesting to start a thread to see what people are
doing with their solar systems.
I am not talking about grid connect or whole of house - but small hobby
projects.
My project is already well advanced.
I have a hobby room at home (retired) and I plan on making all of the
equipment that I have running throughout the day totally solar powered:
Laptop
Weather monitoring station
Printer
House (external) CCTV monitoring
Room Lighting
LCD 12 Volt Television
ADSL router
Hand held Ham Radio equipment (VK5JE)
Radio
etc
etc
Will probably have some excess capacity so might put other house lights on
it as well!
I figure 2 X 80W solar panels and a 250 AH Calcium deep cycle battery will
put me pretty close.
Will be mounting solar panels on 'Ham' type rotators, azimuth & elevation -
to keep pointing to the sun, and may even make this auto track in time.
So what are you doing with your solar experimentation?
