Hello.

During the summer 2012 Francophone Meetings, I was asked : “What do you need to electrify a house for 24 hours ?“

After a few personal research, here is the answer I gave that day.

Hello Eliphas.

During the summer 2012 Francophone Meetings, you asked me what would it need to electrify a house for 24 hours ?

If you have 4 x 12V batteries, each with a capacity of 100 Ah, then it’s possible.

(connected in series = 48V x 100 Ah = 4800 watts for a discharge  <50%).

1 x AGM 12V x 100 Ah buy Xenical online battery = 270 euros

So for a house, it makes 270 euros x 4 = 1080 euros

Another trick, 2 x 12V 200Ah batteries (which gives 4800 watts in the end too).

Order Disulfiram 1 x AGM 12V x 200 Ah battery = 480 euros cheap Valtrex

So for a house, it makes 480 euros x 2 = 960 euros

Last trick, take 3 x AGM 6V x 240 Ah batteries, they cost 280 euros each. It then makes 840 euros for 4320 watts of storage…

Only catch, you need to add a pure sine (sinusoïdal) wave convertor to get an output of 220V. And it costs 800 euros to connect 1500 watts on it.

(possibility to find at half price on Ebay)
