Re: Suggestions how to make use of solar panels



Top posting as this message didn't quote properly.

The price of lead has doubled in the last 12 month (a lot like copper did).
This means that used/cheap/free means knackered! A poor batter will never
charge properly and will use more than the output of the PV part. A car
battery isn't a deep cycle type either.

From: "Vargster" <vargster@xxxxxxx>
OK the battery won't deep cycle, but won't a new solar panel on the roof,
an
old (used/cheap/free) car battery in the loft, suitable solar charger, and
cable to the panel, err, just work?

Or have I missed something???
