we have 10-253watt solar panels and a 48volt inverter so we have a 2.53k/48volt system. the solar panels, charge controller, inverter and misc wire, conduit etc.. cost $ 6550.00/25years=262/12months=21.83 per month.
the batteries are l-16 deep cycle,lead acid, 6v ea. 8 of them cost $ 2400.00/8years=$300.00/12months=$25.00 per month.
our well water pump cost $1200.00 plus $300.00 for pipe,wire etc...we had the panels laying around so no cost for panels, so right now our water cost $1500.00/25years=$60.00/12months=$ 5.00 per month. we plan on buying 6 solar panels which will cost $3000./25years=$120.00/12months=$10.00 so in time our water will cost us $15.00 per month.
so, total cost:
solar panels etc... $21.83
batteries $25.00
water $ 5.00
total $51.00 per month.
yes, we paid up front, but im sure someone would have loved to loan us the money and charged us something stupid in interest, no thanks. we own it free and clear.
we run a fridge,deep freezer,2 laptops,satellite internet.microwave, washer and propane drier, lights,fans, we have a air conditioner in the bedroom that we run during the day when needed. we have a back up generator that we run when it gets cloudy for too long ( added expense that i did not include ) we use about 20gallons of gasoline per year. also we have a generator that we use to weld with.
disclaimer:
these are our solar facts, im sure yours will vary so go price it yourself and if they vary, don't come crying to me. also for all the doubting Thomasa's and name callers: i couldn't give a rats arse what you think so don't bother wasting everyone's time. thank you. :)
