Hi all,
I could use some help with this project.
A friend asked me to install some security lighting on his house, he wants it to be solar a solar powered LED system. The system will consist of a 9 bulb/fixture system that will be motion activated. The max load if all 9 bulbs were on at once ( which they rarely would be) is 270W. All of the fixtures and electrical will be professionally installed and run to a standard breaker box (OFF grid). From there it will be up to me to power it.
I contacted a supplier who quoted me around $4000 for the system. I am pretty sure that I can put one together for less than that, but I want to be certain I know what I am doing before I get started.
I need to make sure I am creating a balanced system that is able to handle the load requirements, and also that there is not something I have over looked.
I realize that I need
1. Panels
2. Batteries
3. charge controller
4. inverter
Any suggestions are helpful.
