Yer I’m in Oz so no shortage of sun here lol
Yer, that’s the perfect getting in the way of the good problem, are old car batterys as good as 2v deep cycle ones? no, but there still fine to use if you have nothing else. Are you gonna run a whole house off em? No, but I ran my fridge, tv, lights and a small water pump most days up till about 11pm off I think about 12 old truck batterys,
Umm around 2022ish, the solar panels were free from the tip, the batteries were also free form a mine site(collapsed cells could hold 12v but couldn’t crank out high amps), solar controlers were from eBay 150 bucks or something and a 5000w inverter was 600ish from memory also probably about 200 bucks worth of battery cable and connectors,
Make your own solar system? Il built my first one out of 7 or 8 second hand panels, old truck batterys and eBay inverters, I can’t find any photos, but it was enough to a fridge, tv, charge phones and lights
Haha I like the spider one
The year was 2022 sorry, the system was probably about $1500ish still up there but compared to to my current one on my place is about 30k, keep an eye on market place people get rid of old systems all the time
