Hi Leon
Just got back from Nimbin where I purchased 6 two volt cells to give me 570 amp hours at twelve volts to add with the set I bought to go in my shack so all up will have 1140 amp hours at 12 volts.
This will run the house, with a 240 vlt fridge lights tv and when the Sun is out run my daughters gaming computer...it draws heaps.
But really it would be good to have double.
I cant remember if I mentioned it but another brother in law...I have many brother in laws

she was one of 11

gave her 8 solar panels of 185 watts each to add with what is ther...4 x 300 and 7 x 100....and another inverter so I should be able to set them up with decent power...menwhile I hope to find a small caraven for my self one day
I scored a 2 kva genny at Aldi for $200 so now there is a 5 kva, 2 key start 2kva and 2 small 700 watt units ...six all up
and I have the scope set up now with a 120 amp hour battery, 120 watt solar panel and a small 200 watt inverter...
And there is a wind generator but I am yet to be convinced that contributes.
