So i've just managed to get hold of two 160W solar panels...although in england i dont think they'll be able to create full power.
Its not really enough energy to link to the mains and also you dont get paid all that much to feed back to the supply. so i want to use all the energy on site.
saddly although energy is a preium during the day at peek times i'm generaly not home and thus there is very littel energy usage.
I plan to charge up a set of heavy duty batteries,
This is problem one...a very un-reliable supply so i need to create an efficient charging method.
then i need to use the power...i'm not sure what on though...
i have a few night lights that come on every night but there both energy saving so wont create much of a drain anyway, really i want to use most of the energy i've created in one day.
Also does anyone know...if my batters are fully charge thus not charging and no load is thus conected to the solar panles will this damage them?
any other suggestions on what i can use the power for?? All sugestions welcome.
