Solar Power

Solar Power

This is the solar power system I intend to start with.

After the system is installed and tested I plan to add 2 additional batteries, connected in parallel to the first 2, for a total output of 12V 420Ah.

The charge controller and inverter that I selected can support up to 4 additional 120W 12V 8A solar panels, which would be connected in parallel to the first panel, for a total output of 600W 12V 40A.

$300.00 $300.00 1 120W 12V 8A Solar Panel
$398.00 $398.00 1 40A 12V Charge Controller & Digital Display

and on the first day...


Removed all miscellanea from the internal nooks and crannies.

Removed all the screws, nails, hooks, curtain rod mounts, etc that had collected on the walls over the last 40 years.

Repaired the latch on the front grille that gives access to the coolant tank...

Installed the propane tank.

Reinstalled the external hatch for the battery compartment.

Removed the carpeting from the dog house and reinstalled the latches.


Started removing the light fixtures... the bulbs for them ran so hot that they melted or burned every fixture... The one above the sink managed to burn a half inch hole through the base of the cabinet that it was mounted under.
