Well like i had mentioned I have a few panels laying around that I want to use. I also received 4 hawker genesis ep 44 ah batteries that test pretty good, 3 are less then a year old and 1 is a bit older...
I want to use lights outside my home and I have also been using the hawker batteries in my apc 800 watt back up since my inverter is not in reach at the moment...
Anyways what would suite my needs better...
1. Run 12v solar panels and batts on 12 v light bulbs
2. Run my panels at 24 volts on my 24v batter rack with the inverter on regular home light bulbs, think these bulbs would be way cheaper then 12v bulbs, if I can find any..
Still undecided on what wattage bulbs to get and quantity, I wanted to use the bulbs at night for security reasons to have the year and path way lite up...
Again I have a total of 4 x 44ah 12v batts, and I guess want to run lights maybe from 8:30-8:30 but depends what time I get up...
On the solar panels I am bolting together 12, 10watt panels to make a 120 watt panel, if I had one more panel I would add the other 2 in the garage..
And If I need more panels I have another spare 7 20 watt panels, 2 sunwize, 4 Solar tech, 1, Siemens..
Anyways got to get my eyes checked today and I need to buy materials needed and I only have 1 car at moment but wifes in it so I guess I will have to wait longer to do any work....
