small solar setup to power house lights (cfls)?
I want to run a small solar setup
what i need is 2 or 4 small solar panels
-found on ebay about 12 bucks each
1 deep cycle 12 volt battery
1 power inverter to convert 12v to 110ac
From what I've gathered, I can wire two solar panels in parallel
to produced 12volts 240 mA at 2.88 watts
Or with 4 panels in parallel 12volts 480 mA at 5.76 watts
For this setup i will have all the lights off of the mains power wired directly from the inverter. I will run about 4 or 5 CFL's.
does anyone see any problem with this setup or anything else I should know before proceeding
Inverters are not very efficient. You may be better off finding some 12V lights designed for boats or RV's that run directly on 12 volts rather than using an inverter.
