Question 1

What else will i need with Complete Solar Panel Kit 200W Mono: 2pc 100W Solar Panels+20' Adapter Kit+P beside battery and solar panal extension cable?

Accepted Answer

If this is an isolated unit you will need batteries and the proper cables. I daisy chained two 12v car batteries (720 CCA) together. I used 12 gage stranded wire (positive and negative) designed for car audio and soldiered the ends. I squared the ends soldered ends so they would fit properly into the solar charge controller. If you want AC power as I did I ran two more 12 gage wires (positive and negative) for the inverter. I hooked up a 1200 watt power inverter with 12v USB and other power options. This is an isolated 120v AC system and will run several lights, TV, radio, etc.

Question 2

Hi I'm looking for the same but off grid, is this off grid  or could I get one of the same off grid?

Accepted Answer

This IS an off-grid system. I have never been on-grid at my present location. I run 24/7 with 4 of these kits (8 panels), feeding a set of 4 panels through the included 30-amp charger to recharge 3 large deep-cycle batteries each set (6 batteries altogether). The batteries feed an 800-watt Cobra inverter (also from Amazon) to provide all the power I need. For high-drawing electrical shop tools, I use a 3500-watt LPG generator. See my video series at my website, DroidPals dot com.

Question 3

How many batteries would i need for this kit ? I will be using on my off-grid cabin which is a 12x24 . thanks

Accepted Answer

Complicated question. You need to figure out how much power your appliance use and how long you plan to use them each day. I am using 4 6 volt golf cart battery's. All together I have 464 amp hours. Batteries in parallel and in series. Do not use regular car battery. There is a formula out there, i don't know it.
