Starter Solar Home Power System

One can start living the unplugged dream using this 325W Solar Home Power System Kit. Depending on your household power requirements, I think this would be a good starter kit. It may not replace your whole electricity requirement just yet but with the 550 watt inverter, you can start plugging your computer, TV, and a couple of lights to the system.

I saw this kit at brightlightsolar and it already has all the components you need to have a solar power system.

The system can be customised to suit your specific needs. The base system includes:

• 325 Watt solar panel array using branded solar panels (typically BP Solar or Kyocera) w/25 year manufacturer warranty
• Morningstar Prostar 30A charge controller with LED status indicators and capacity to install two additional panels
• 10 metre module array output cable with weatherproof/UV sheathing to connect panels with system charge controller
• 200 AH Energy deep cycle sealed solar GEL battery capacity
• 550 Watt Steca Pure sine wave inverter to convert battery DC output to UK mains 230 VAC. Capable of taking surges up to 3 times rated capacity in order to accomodate motor or refrigerator compressor surges
• Junction Box
• Instruction guide

This costs about £2,095.00 so that’s roughly USD4,100.
