What kind of solar power setup would I need to power a single room’s energy needs?

By admin | June 6, 2009

D. Christopher asked:


I live in the basement of a house and would like to run my room on solar power. I have two power strips that run a TV and DVD player, a laptop, printer and two external hard drives and I would need to use a couple floor lamps in the room as well. What kind of solar paneling setup would I need and what would be the ballpark cost on this?

      An inverter mounting rails for the batteries make it total of 1500 watts and 15 panels two fused disconnect switches and more.
      For the cost would have to be worthwhile it appears you would need at night too the electrical things at least 750 watts and 15 panels plus.
