Hopefully the prices keep dropping... and especially the prices of the deep cycle batteries.
Nice price, it's getting pretty affordable now to hook up some power. I grew up in AZ; you could power the entire planet from the Sonora and Mojave deserts!
Hey - Thanks so much for the Upvote.... it is very much appreciated. I post any good offgrid/solar/ sustainable design ideas I come across to help everybody live off the grid....
That is so true
The big problem is the batteries... we need better, longer lasting and more affordable Solar Power Storage.. Lead Acid and even Lithium is expensive and not very good technology.
Yes, it's happening. Very nice to see these kinds of articles; ultra capicitors, sodium batteries, and dry lithium batteries:

Excellent ... thanks for posting this. I am interested in the latest advances in battery technology. I was really interested in Salt water batteries but it looks like the company went bankrupt ????
Wow solar siteam info shearing post thsnk you pelese halp myvote
Wow. solar is getting cheap.
Yes, if the price of batteries would come down it would be great. I have a friend that I have been talking to about solar and the sticking point is the price of batteries.
Same here.... the best batteries cost $300 a piece. Trojan 6 volt -
