LOL....1000 AH of batterystorage for a 100w load...???
FFS....at the 10 hr rate he would be struggling to justify 1000 AH average load 110w...LOL
I reckon one 12v/200ah wet cell would do the job....and $8000 less cost...
Yes there should be an Alternative Energy Sub Forum.
No stuff it lets just burn more fossil fuel.
LOL...
Joey,
I reckon for 2 kw'h a day he might be better off with a cuppla batteries and a small $100 chinese generator from Bunnings?

Got the man to come in the morning and fit my bidirectional meter for the switchboard.
It took a while to find a BCSE accreditted sparkie who wasn't on drugs...
Sure are some Hippidy Dippidy drug fecked alternative lifestyler losers out there...
(another moron who thought desalination plants fade peoples curtains in summer)
hehe yeah I think somehow the tables are crossed over !! one 200AH battery would be plenty , But how is the panel calculation!! man thats a joke 16 x 130W !! there are some remote homes that could live off that !
Ok lets do a quote 1 x 12v/200ah wet cell ( smoothing cap for chinese Generator ) , hmm about $350 , 1 x Chinese Generator $250 , Extension cord for Generator because those things are noisy !! 200 meters hehe $60 .
Selectronic Inverter to smooth out any mess and hold everything together LD600 ( sorry only go up to 600W at 12volts but still well in excess of requirements ) about $900 .
Or go 24V and buy Zeds old 2000w inverter really cheap
Hey Joey...he could probably do it with a cheap arse wind generator from Jaycar as well....
It's only 100 watts...
cheap things get broken when they are cheap, i have some money to spend and thought renewable energy was the way to go

Still waiting for the alcoholic accreditted electrician who is coming this morning.......
probably having a sleep and a swig in the car.....
He showed up and couldn't a sensible word out of him...his feckin phone was ringing non stop due to his personal commitments.
He is coming back next week and i'm going to have the cell phone jammer all charged up....stuff him.
Man should have seen the tree huger that come out to sign off on my system for the accreditation crap !! Bloody classic this dude had the mandatory dread locks hanging from under he crocheted multi color beanie and what looked like cloths he made himself from old potato sacks ! they matched the sandals though!! He had this thing on the front seat of his bio diesel powered landrover that looked like a tassie devil , not sure if it was his girlfriend or his dog.
After explaining to me that not having a TV in his house he said it gave him plenty of time to grow all his own food and recycle everything , he said he wasn't even connected to the grid and 1400W of panels was more than enough to keep his bank of ex forklift batteries charged.
It was funny when he mentioned he bowed to society and bought a computer because his Uni student girlfriend needed it for study.
All sorts of images come to mind !! I bet she even rolls her own tampons
Anyway he talked for about 2 hrs and about all sorts of crap I wasn't interested in then finally left !!! and I think went back to his own planet or maybe even back to woodstock
The accreditation for these guys from Nimbin is the biggest joke.
The older I get the more I agree that anyone who smokes dope is a friggin' loser....unreliable and untrustworthy.
Don't let them near anything more than a 9volt clock battery
makes me wonder how they get their accreditation.....
must have.....
1. Bio diesel 4wd
2. minimum of a 3000w of panels
3. drink alot
4. no appliances
5. dress funny
6. say yes man and whoaaaa alot

you nearly got it in one mate but....
they usually run the whole house from one car battery and a single polycrystalline 40w panel with mirrors reflecting onto it to get as much out of it...
And 12v car headlights all over the house....cheap from the wreckers yard.
and a yard full of feral kids with dirty faces, farm animals in the house, and a blue heeler that openly licks them on the mouth...etc etc etc
And....in the middle of the suburbs....
as you can tell i have got it worked out from multi-experiences....
I think these accreditation mobs hand out application forms at anti logging protests , guaranteed to be the exact crowd they are targeting
Hey Joey...today was the big day where i decommisioned the "virtual" desalinator and..yep...you guessed it...switched it on the real one.
I am making fresh water with no ongoing carbon footprint.
only 3000 litres a day.(daylight hours) ..but it's a start...
the desal unit uses 8.6 A @240v.
I calculated 8.3a @ 240v so i weren't too far off to my delight ! (forgot the losses in the 500 metre buried cable)
Still got heaps of tidying it up cause i've had my "L" plates on with a few aspects...but first attempt, it's water for ever...
Shit this is satisfying stuff....
Have to ask yourself the question as you sit there watching it go into the tank...
Why can't we have solar power on a massive scale doing this ????
