Cheap and Easy Solar Panel Setup
Going green with a solar panel set up need not be expensive.
You can buy solar panel kits that have everything you need in them that right
from the box is ready to go.
The solar panel kit from Harbor Freight Tool is an example of
that. The kit sells for regularly for $230.00, but you can often find their
sale ad price of $140.00. This kit has
three 15watt panels that go to a voltage regulator box. The three panels have a
combined output of 45watts. A 12 volt battery is attached to the voltage
regulator.
The Voltage regulator channels a charging voltage to the
battery from the panels as well as having receptacles for different DC
voltages. You have a choice of 3, 5, 6,
9 and 12 volt outputs. Most of today’s DC electronics use one of these
voltages. The kit also comes with two 12 volt light bulbs with cords and some common
connectors. It is a good quick and easy and cheap way to get a solar charging
system. Just add a battery.
I use a set up like this to keep my trolling motor charged
and ready to go.
