I want to buy a solar panel to charge deep cycle batteries and charge electronics off the DCB. I don't know how to wire everything up though or what materials ill need. Inverter? Gauge of the wire? Ampmeter?
the solar panel should state it, you dont need a inverter to charge, only to use the power from the cell.you do need an amp regulator, so it tells if the battery is on full charge and so the sun doesnt over power the battery through the solar panel
It does not matter if you father is a electrician he must be a fully qualified solar installer or you will not receive any money from the government. You need more than just solar panels you need regulators, grid interaction devices and array controller. 5KW installation is large and will cost around $5000 for the panels then around 5000 for controllers and equipment needed and then there are the basic materials such as rails, junctions, cables etc Total cost is approx $5,000
