For school i have to build a house that has 5 working electric parts to it, i can power it any way i want and i have a couple solar cells left from science fair and i thought it would be cool if i made a "green" home for the project. I was wondering what kind of things run off of DC power and use very little power becuase like i said, i only have a few cells so all wired together under very bright light i MIGHT get 6 watts so you can see how im limited. and im not buying a 1000 dollar converter to change the power to AC either (for obvious reasons). So if you can think of any DC powered small electrical objects. Also i was wondering if LED christmas lights can run off DC? I can strip wires and cut and minipulate things to make them work to my needs soooooo.... thats it, thanks in advance, will pick best
I wouldn't bother with the solar cells. You can charge a battery that can run an LED or two with them, but that's about it. Houses have refrigerators, furnaces, fans, garbage disposals, and computers, all of which take vastly more power than your solar cells. The AC converter wouldn't do you any good, either: AC or DC, your source of energy is simply too feeble by a factor of perhaps 100.
So wire your house up with 120 volt power, which is probably what they want you to do. You'll learn how wiring is done and how power is distributed.
