Assume that you have a 10,000 BTU window air ineditcoonr that draws 1200 watts at 110 volt, you will need about 1500 watts of solar panels, a large 12-volt deep cycle battery and an inverter. The battery would not store enough to run the AC when the sun is down, it would just provide some stability. Figure $ 3500+ for the panels, about $ 200 for a charge controller, $ 300 for an inverter and $ 200 for a large deep cycle battery. Throw in a few hundred for cables and connectors. You can buy the panels on e-bay. Look out, there are lots of scams and overpriced panels out there. Many community colleges have solar classes, ours does, but they may focus on large arrays selling power back to the power company. Yes.

I both cases I will be using the solar with conventinal electric grid and fully functional electric water heater so I am not dependant on the solar systems if they fail. Please contact me re quotes for the systems and time line for installations. I am pulling construction permits this week and plan to start asap with the construction of the home.

Would like to hear more. I have been looking into residential solar energy off and on since 2002 and this is the most affordable option (the FCU loan) that I’ve seen yet. Would like to hear more.
