Title: Help With Solar System
Post by: eval on December 20, 2016, 01:28:55 AM

Hi I'm 14 and trying to find a good affordable solar system (hopefully around $2000 Canadian) for an off grid project I'm trying to start asap so it'll be ready for when I turn 16.

Learn to use a UNO microprocessor and you will be able to do a lot of things cheap.  I have a whole camp run with one, refrigeration, hot water and lighting.   And I didn't spend $2,000.  So learn a little electronics now.  Most people waste most of the possible energy they could generate with RE.  Efficiency is through scheduling  and prioritizing loads.  That can only be done with a micro.  I was repairing electronics and making money at 14.  You can learn this stuff.
