Solar Power Kit: A Six Hundred Dollar Wonder
By Tony Hartmann
It is a well known fact that outfitting a home with solar panels is not the cheapest of options and harnessing the power of the sun may set one back thousands of dollars, depending on how much electricity is required. It is not absolutely essential to go from no clean energy to hundred percent clean energy in one big go and doing so in incremental steps may be more suitable. There are cheap as well as effective solar power kit solutions available and one may buy a do-it-yourself solar power kit for as little as six hundred dollars and use it to run a 20 inch TV for 20 hours and a portable stereo for 100 hours plus a laptop for 40 hours and a 12 watt compact fluorescent light bulb for eighty hours. Also, the eight hundred watt inverter runs a small vacuum cleaner as well as drill and sander and a band saw as well as being able to handle toasters, coffee makers as well as blenders.

Solar Power Kit?
This six hundred dollar solar power kit has a Uni-Solar 32 watt amorphous-silicon PV module that provides 12 volts and this component costs one hundred and eighty dollars. It also consists of one Morningstar six amp charge controller providing 12 volts and this component costs forty dollars. There are also two Deka 92 amp-hour sealed batteries of 12 volts that cost one hundred and thirty dollars each to make a total of two hundred and sixty dollars. Finally, it consists of one Aims eight hundred watt modified sine wave inverter that provides 12 volts and costs sixty-five dollars to make a grand total of five hundred and forty-five dollars. The remaining fifty-five dollars may be used to purchase wires, battery cables, mounting hardware, fuses and the other assorted odds and ends that would be required to complete this solar power kit.
The beauty of this solar power kit is that it starts small and can be expanded as the need arises or when the wallet is fat enough to go in for added features. The only thing that cannot be expanded is the inverter and other than this, everything else is expandable. That means that any number of like modules may be put together in parallel keeping in mind that the modules should always be of the same wattage.
