After moving the boat and into a house, I was totally surprised when our first electric bill came. My first thought was that it was high because we used all that power in the removal and installation. The second and third bills were also high. I unplugged everything I could and made sure everything was over, when made possible. I replaced all light bulbs with compact fluorescent lamps and LED lamps. An electrician friend checked the room for all the problems that the cause of what I thought was a large bill could be. Nothing was found scandalous. The house currently being used much more electricity than I wanted.

The boat has two solar panels and wind turbines. They require the boat batteries provide power for the boat. The system runs 12-volt lighting, refrigerator, our fans, our computers, television and navigation system. Everything but the A / C and heating of the battery left. The dock, we connected electrically to the ground for the A / C and heating. The house could calculate solar panels on a bank of batteries in the same way.

The cost for a panel system for home and commercial solar batteries, which was equal to the net well beyond my reach. A system of 12 volts, as the boat was affordable. I started with a set of 45 watt solar modules from our point of sale devices. The kit contains three solar panels, voltage regulators, two light bulbs 12 volt DC with a standard lamp base for them, and wiring. I’ve had two deep cycle batteries, trolling motor, I am the system completely. This system was affordable solar panel kit. Solar panels are mounted on a wheel barrel, like shopping, so they can be moved and positioned to get the best angle to the sun. This allows the panels produce more electricity. About once a month, they just need a little re-positioning. Recharging the battery is out of the carport. Is a good ventilation and easy access to the battery. Panels and batteries are the heart of the system. To complete the system, a line of two 12-volt son was carried out in the attic and down the whole length of the house. The line was carried out in PVC pipe and has 12 volts on each section of pipe just for safety. Then, 12-volt ceiling mounted LED lights in most rooms of the house installed. Marine and RV stores have a good selection of these devices. The devices were on the line of 12 volt and 12 volt LED house was connected. The size and brightness of the lights were lit for the areas they selected. Bright light in the kitchen was used, halls and baths in smaller units. A DC line was run in the lounge. Both DC bulbs were placed table lamps and the lamps are wired into the system of 12 volts. Can run an inverter connected to the system 12 volt AC hardware. A switch on the door of the car port is enabled or disabled, the system of 12 volts. When we leave in the morning he goes out and lights up when we get home. This allows the batteries to solar panels easier to spot. The system worked. Another set of panels and the battery was added and the system to smooth out not so much. The system, as it costs about $ 275.00 and was paid off in less than six months. Set the switch on the ceiling, so they do not run all the time would also help extend the battery life. Add the cost and labor of switches is not worth doing at the moment.

The 12-volt system has four things for us. First, our electric bill is lower. Second, we have the light, if there is a power failure. Third, my trolling motor batteries are always charged and ready to go. Fourth and finally, it leads to the next guy nuts (it’s worth it for himself).
