That would be cool to open up my own solar panel installation business so we can use less electricity and use it to charge our solar cars instead.

Solar Controller for Solar Powered Attic Fans from U.S. Sunlight Corp.

Power your fan after dark:
The addition of the Solar Controller with Dual Mode Technology will enable your Solar Powered Attic Fan to run after sunset or when there is no light available from the sun.

When there is no sunlight available to power the fan and the Solar Controller has the optional house power connection enabled, the Solar Controller will cycle house electricity for 8 minutes every half-hour in order to power the fan. This will allow your attic temperature to continue to drop after sunset and help remove the hot, stagnant air that can build up on those warm summer evenings.

Real-time status updates:
The remote control readout on the Solar Controller sends a radio signal through your walls and ceiling to give you a real-time status update on fan operation to let you know if your fan is running and if the power source is from the solar panel or the house electricity.

No more questioning if your fan is running! This patent pending, industry-first advancement will give you the peace-of-mind that your fan is functioning and your attic is being ventilated.

An intelligent device:
The Solar Controller monitors both temperature and humidity optimizing your fans operation for maximum performance in all weather conditions.

The Solar Controller intelligently limits the amount of electricity used to power the fan, so it is a perfect alternative to traditional electric powered vents. With the built-in temperature and humidity sensors, the Solar Controller can monitor attic conditions and utilize solar power or house electricity to optimize the run-time of the fan by removing excessive heat and moisture.

Pictures followed by video tour. (tour starts at 1.20)

12v, 70Ah Deep cycle battery
20W Monocrystaline panel
300W Mains Inverter
12v/20w CFL

In future it will be upgraded to have a 100-200w Panel & 1-2000w inverter.

Solar powered shed setup UK – Battery upgrade

February 17th, 2011 |

Author: admin

Upgrade to the solar shed, have just fitted a huge 220AH deep cycle battery weighing almost 60KG. This gives us a total of 290AH capacity between the two deep cycle batteries, or around 150AH of usable capacity only draining the battery bank down to 40-50%.

All major wiring is 8-AWG, including the battery links. The system is setup in parallel giving 12v@290AH.
