Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Hi Reddbull

Whats your budget like?

I have a couple of 80 watt panels, not enough to let me go off the grid, but enough to experiment with and appreciate the watts these panels can make. I use the power to charge some 12v truck batteries, and at night these power a series of garden lights. During the day I have an excess of power, so have a small inverter and pedestal fan to keep the dog and cat cool.
