100 Watt Solar Engine Polycrystalline Solar Panel NEW $319.00 / 10a MPPT Charger ($45) Kelowna BC

In this video I demonstrate a 100 watt Polycrystalline solar panel ($319) running an MPPT charge controller ($45) that charges a typical lawn and garden battery ($37) and uses a 200 watt invertor ($20) to produce AC electricity anywhere.

I explain how the MPPT charger truly compliments an affordable setup (under $500) to provide power for ponds, remote lighting, extensive outdoor lighting, camping, RV solar, or the start of a small cabin setup. You do not have to spend a fortune to get started with state of the art solar gear!

KM Alternative Living products offers the ability to have an entire setup, start to finish, for much less than you'd pay for just a comparable output solar panel at Canadian Tire, and our guarantees / warranties are better!

@electrodacus Correct. I did a whole day of testing on it, and I am now selling BZ, and Xantrex and testing Powertech for an entry level. Thanks

I am building a cabin and would like to power a frig,computer and a few lights and maybe a small ac during the summer...how much would a system like this cost...

[KyleCarrington]

@MrDeisenhower Basically you'd want 2 of these or slightly larger panels, say 140's. That'd be $700. Then, you'd want a decent 20-30 amp charge controller. My premium MPPT LCD panel 30 amp is about $140. Then you need the batteries. This can vary. I like Trojan 6v's @ 200 amp-hrs ea. (approx). Let's say min. $300 for batteries. Then, a 3000 watt modified sine wave inverter on sale is about $250, So... about $1500 is a great start.

@MrDeisenhower If you just want to run some nice LED lights, listen to music, and run a pump now and again, you could go with one RV battery $125, one 140 watt panel $350 and a 20 amp charge controller $85. No inverter would be needed, per say, because all of your usage would be DC, and you may opt for an inexpensive inverter $60 for small AC use.

Thanks for the information I would like to install a 200 watt solar Penelope with 6 deep cycle battery what I can rong with this setup thanks again

[KyleCarrington]

@elcomandante31able Depending on your load requirements, that may be a bit "battery heavy". Then again, it gives room to grow, or, would be suitable for a setup that collected energy... for a duration... while nobody was using the batteries for power, then be "ready to serve". For example, a cabin that stored up energy all week, but only got used on weekends. In that case "battery heavy" is ideal.

[electrodacus]

That is not an MPPT controller is fake. Is not even a good PWM. I have one but I will never use that is more than a junk.

[KyleCarrington]

@elcomandante31able No you do not usually need a permit. When you do a larger installation, and you intend on employing a grid tie inverter, that is when you need an electrician, and possibly permission / permits. It is always a good thing to have a CE or UL (or both) rated panel though. Solar panels, cheaply made, can cause fires.

nice video i would like to know if i need a special permit to install small setup
