First of all is it possible? I do not know how much electricity my dehumidifier but could someone give me an idea of how much this would cost to do? A link to a solar panel or equipment that would do the job would be nice too.Thanks in advance.

Great! The general steps are: . Determine how much power your humidifier uses (watts). Multiply the amperage x 5 (Assuming you're in the U.S.) 2. Determine what size solar panel you need (this will be in watts as well). Consider that the rating for a solar panel is optimal. That means that's the best it will be in direct sunlight. 3. Determine if you want a battery in the system. A battery will store energy from the solar panel so you can use it later. Helps for cloudy days or when the panel otherwise doesn't output the same power as the humidifier uses. 4. Figure out the right charge controller. You need to regulate the power from the solar panel into either the humidifier or the battery setup. 5. Tie it all in together, using proper electrical connections. It can be complicated, but its certainly a good feeling to get power from the sun. Good luck!
