Well, you are on your way in the learning curve. Get a copy of the yellow book: Solar Power your house for dummies. read the book, read the stickies posts here on the various sub forums, and you will be on your way. If you have grid power now, you don't really need batteries at all -

> 3 x GEL car batteries 12V 100Ah
Trade them in for golf cart 6V 200ah batteries. GEL is not suitable for solar, as it cannot be quickly recharged. AGM is suitable, but expensive and half the lifetime of good flooded batteries.Leave a comment:

What can I do with these batteries?
Hi,
I'm very much a newbie in this and would like some suggestions. He is a list of what equipment I have:
6 x 250w solar panels Vmp 31.17V / Imp 8.03A
SolarRiver SR2K2TLA1 Inverter (Input - Max DC Power 2.3Kw / Max DC volts 550V / Max current 11A, Output - Max AC Power 2.2kW / Max AC Current 11A / Nominal AC Voltage/range 230/180-270)
3 x GEL car batteries 12V 100Ah
I have had the panels and undeterred over 4 years and produce about 1400kw per year (I think that's the figure anyway). Any power I don't use just get fed back into the grid, I don't get paid for it as I have just installed them myself. So far I have managed to get everything for free, apart from the wooden A frame I have made which cost me
