I am looking for a solar system to run the electric power in my small two bed bungalow?

Question

I have lots of storage places for batteries ect.

Answer 1

Try the Milky Way!.

Answer 2

Maggie, a better option would be wind power. They have backyard wind powered generators now that will produce 30-90% of your energy--even on cloudy days as long as you have some wind. It's cheaper than solar too. About 10,000 for the whole thing. Find out about it at windenergy.com. By the way if you have a really windy day you can sell the excess back to the electric company.

Answer 3

The solar system won't fit into your back garden. OK joke over.

You can spend thousands on a Solar System and basically, you won't get much return.

1. You are obviously considering moving to a 12Vd.c. system for lighting (readily available) - you won't be able to use it for much else unless you invest in some hefty electronic boxes (but these would have to run off mains so defeats the object).

2. Winter is coming so you may be able to get hold of those outside solar lights quite cheaply. Most run on 3Vdc (2x1.5 batteries). It is a relatively easy task to connect say 5 of these in series (15 Vdc) and use them to charge your 12 V batteries

Answer 4

B&Q do a small one for reducing the cost of heating water plus they also do a small wind turbine that will reduce your electric bill bu 30% but if you can afford it go for the one from Curryss it will cost approx £9000. but any power you do not use will go back in to the national grid and the best part they will pay you for it. If you are serious about this some councils will give grants but you will need to check first

Answer 5

A good place to start would be the websites for Hoval and Viessman, both companies that provide solar systems for heating of houses, water, etc. both domestically and commercially.

Answer 6

good !it works well but what is your question?
