I was out looking today and wondering how this would work at keeping my batteries charged as we dry camp:
45 Watt Solar Panel Kit
Use the sun's power to run TVs, lights, computers and recharge 12VDC batteries!
Requires 12 volt storage battery and 300 watt power inverter (not included). Maximum current, 3000 mA. 15 watts max per panel. Peak voltage: 23.57 volts open current. Panel dimensions: 12.40'' x 36.42'' x 0.75'' Weight: 9.7 lbs. |

You also need a charge controller. A inverter uses alot of current; I'd think if you could use 12 vdc appliances you'd be better off.

Make a list of what you would be running. On that list put on the power consumption per hour of use. Total them up and compare it to the solar panel setup.
Terry Edit: if you run into problems or just have any technical questions talk to John Palmer. He lives off the power grid! Go here: http://www.palmerenergysystems.com |

The price is right now we just gotta see if it works for our needs. Where did you find it? For us I am thinking lights, water pump (not the water heater) plus I'd like to get the frig off LP.
