The power/solar/batteries/generator thread

[ronaldrwl]

I would definitely be interested in learning/seeing solar power systems.

I just looked into this. Harbor Freight has a system that sells for around $200 or something. That got me interested. So, my son and I went through the calculations. Under very good conditions it would take 7 years to pay for itself (as I remember).

Very disapointing. I wanted to see if I could run my computers durring the day by solar. It would take thousands of dollars to set up and would never pay for itself.

Bummer
