Hi,
I have been curious about solar for sometime.
I am looking at my electric bill and I use less than 600k watts a month
for 1/2 the year.
My math does not seem to work out.
1) Convert 600000 watts at 120 volts * .1 = 60,000 watts at 12 volts.
2) 60,000 watts divided by 30 = 2000 watts at 12 volts per day.
3) If I can harvest solar for 4 hours a day that is 2000/4 = 500 watts
at 12 volts.
That means I only need 500 watts of solar. This does not take into
consideration loss of power in the system.
If the system losses 30% then I need around 715 watts of solar panels to
meet my needs.
I was expecting a lot more.
Any help is much appreciated!!
Keith
