Cost effective solar set up

RE: Cost effective solar set up
My plans are quite basic.

Charge all my batteries I have invested in top of the range battery chargers, and I have quite a lot of torches and batteries to maintain, charge two way radios, cook and purifier water, entertainment Movie/TV shows a lot of education type shows I have saved, be it survival or other.

Other needs to be able to read through all my saved pdf files and eBooks and so on if the lights go out, I have backed up quite a lot of YouTube know how videos, I guess I am saying kind of a data bank power source.

Run lights in the garden and home as well if need be, but most of all its learning for the kids and fun all round to have, they have mates round watch movies in the garden, play music have a cook up.

It was just a dive in head first few years ago, I wanted a better understanding of it all so bought a 80 watt solar panel and hooked it up to an old car battery and played about with it, then I got another which got me to 160 watts and noticed I could do quite a lot with that, then around Xmas I wanted to get the setup to around 400 watt and there was a sale on 3 panels so went for it.

So no it was not really planned, I tend to do things quite fast I am more hands on type person I like to do and research same time, as doing a project.

My plans I have already made a mobile rig, and am thinking of a way to heat my chicken coop during the winter, and last of all I want to incorporate it in to my rain farm, like power a presser filter.
