WHAT KIND OF SOLAR PANEL WOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO RUN MY COMPUTER OFF THE GRID 24HRS A DAY?
Sep 18th
Question by Maddogmc:
What kind of solar panel would be adequate to run my personal off the grid 24hrs a day?
Besides my refrigerator, the only other electrical device I leave running all day is my personal (cpu, monitor, modem, speakers). So to reduce my hydro bill, what kind of solar panel would be adequate to run my personal off the grid 24hrs a day?
Thanks
Wow, thanks guys.
So I checked out local prices for solar panels. Turns out it would cost me roughly 00 to have 1000watts of panels installed. With my current hydro bill, which I pay each other month, I would have to wait approximately 27 years before breaking even with the 00 purchase.
They sure do not make it simple for us to save the planet..
