You would need to know the wattage so that you could determine the amperage <br> or how fast the panels charge the battery, also i would recommend the optima <br> gel batteries though pricey, and a charge controller to protect the <br> batteries <br> <p>-- <br> Rudy Earls

What sort of voltage do you think they put out/ I could get 4 panels and 16 <br> batteries...The panels are about 30 inches by 48 inches..Thanks

Can I get a bunch of panels and batteries from old hyway arrow boards <br> and connect them to generate solar power ? Has anyone ever tried <br> this ..would it work??

My first Solar installation <br> <p>For some time now I have had what i would call an emergency solar <br> lighting system in my house for use only at times of mains/grid <br> failure. This does in fact happen quite a few times during the year, <br> the system quite simply has one roof mounted 65w roof mounted panel

Certainly that is possible, I have a very basic system at home in the <br> south of England consisting of a 40w solar panel, charge controller, <br> two 110 amp leisure batteries and two inverters. One inverter is a <br> pure sine wave (600w) and the other is a modified sine wave (1200w) <br> they are basically for emergency power in case of a power failure, but

I should have mentioned that if 24v system was used then this might <br> just work. <br> I know the the inverter is around 90% efficient, but the main idea was <br> to support a low wattage solar panel until money would allow the <br> purchase of much larger system. Another idea I had was to help <br> charge up the batteries (from very overcast days) to make best use of

In theory this could be possible, but the inverter demands a high <br> ampage and will always use more power consumption than it provides, <br> that's a fact of life. <br> <p>The real test would be when the 150w is being used as this is when the <br> ampage rises in the inverter, the battery would not keep up with the

I was wondering if it was possible to use a inverter connected to a <br> battery that feeds power to a battery charger via an controller that <br> in turn tops up the battery thereby if my calculations are right, the <br> battery never run down and yet get about 150w spare capacity from an <br> 300w Inverter (FREE ELECTRICITY)?

The next questions should also be <br> <p>How much do I think I already know? <br> How much do I want to learn? <br> How much do I want to pay? - the information is free, but you maybe <br> better off buying a book to help yourself get focused first.

Correction made to the battery discharged voltage from 11.8v to 10.5 <br> this can sometimes be disputable but it would be safe to assume that a <br> voltage somewhere in between would be safest, although it is not to be <br> recommended to take a battery near to the bottom of the range.
