RE: A different approach to saving power with solar panels.

Simon,

I've thought the same for internal lighting but LED room lighting just
isn't
there yet.
Although I have thought about running the 36w fluro lights (1m tubes) from
12V.
Hmmm.

Ah I see - you've already got 240V from the panels' inverter and you're
just
using the UPS to cover the switchover. Fair enough :)

Interestingly I toyed with running a simple 12V DC circuit from solar
panels/batteries for lighting (e.g. LEDs) etc. (I've too many other jobs to
be done before then though). It depends on how many panels you have and how
much sun (lots I assume!).
