Major advantages of using solar power include drastically reduced installation costs, little or no energy bill, plug-and-play capabilities, minimal maintenance, it helps the environment, and it helps you create a green image for yourself and/or company.What should I consider when choosing a kit?
This depends completely on what you want to provide power and/or lighting for. Things to consider include: -Is the application for inside or outside? -What voltage do you need? -Do you need DC current, AC current, or both? -Do you need lighting, power, or both? -If you need power, what are your intended loads? -How many days of autonomy do you need?How many Watts does my system require?
In order to best estimate which kit you need, simply add up the wattage of all the lights or appliances that will be running off the kit, and round UP to our nearest kit wattage. For example, say you want to light 4 lamps, each at 7 Watts, and for 8 hours a day. This gives a total of 28 Watts. From here, simply choose a kit capable of providing 28 Watts or more.I can't find a kit that fits my needs
