Hoping to learn more about building a system to supplement my current energy needs while introducing myself to the concept of solar energy. Looking at 3"x6" cells (cell type is not indicated) that I am not entirely sure what i am getting into with these. They appear to produce 72 watts average when purchased in lots of 40, but must be tabbed, framed and encapsulated. What should I expect to have into one 40 cell lot upon completion?
In addition, I was thinking an inexpensive sine wave inverter and a couple deep cycle marine batteries for a total of around $300 after miscellaneous expenses? I have been measuring the various appliances around the house to determine a few of the things I would like to remove from the grid like the cable modem, router, lights, wireless printer roomba, cell phones, and maybe 5 light bulbs (10w each) (smaller things).
Appreciate any experienced feedback, even if it is "don't do it!"
Thank You.
