Round the clock requires charging a bank of batteries, which is very inefficient. That's a ridiculous slant on reality. Do you own an oil company or something? Photovoltaic is a hoax = global warming is a hoax = the moon landings were a hoax = 9/11 was a hoax = Roswell was the site of saucer crashes = Michael Jackson was poisoned by Obama. Right! Got it.

From scratch without your friendly utility company. Let's see you must build a power plant, then.... yeah right! The cost for the above using PV system is about 3-7 hundred, that's it. ! deep cycle battery, 1 115 watt panel, 1 inverter, ligs, wire and charger... Now a question for you. What is the kilowatt hours used by those 2 bulbs of yours over the same period of time? Okay Smarty, how much would it cost to power two 100watt bulbs for 24hours a day 365 days a year.

Where did you earn your PHD? I see, so you don't have either... but you seem to know more than 99.9% of all experts worldwide!

The average household electric bill is more like $ 250. to $ 350.00 per month, and as for rate hikes you obvously know nothing bout how the business works or about Photovoltaic, Wind or Thermal electrical generation. And 25K by 20 by 12 is 104.17 the extra 21 bucks would make it $ 5,040.00 more... total being $ 30,040.00 If you can't do simple math how is it you believe you have the ability to challange the facts?

First off, we didn't include interest on the loan, that should ad 5k to it easily. Then there is the typical $60 mnthly pymnt to the electrical company (14k), and how about those cloudy days that exceed your battery back-up? you'll need power from the grid. sooo, 25k+5k (interest)+14k (fees to elect company)= $44k equals $144 a month...whether you use power in your home or not....

Please explain to me how 200watts ac can be drawn from a battery (with inverter) overnite, and still get fully charged during the day while a mear 115 watts dc can not only charge the battery, but power up the lights???

The equation is: 4,800/4.6 (insolation factor for southern California)=1,043 watts (needed for solar array), and 6 deep cycle batteries with an Ah rating of 100. You do realize what the Ah rating is right? Then you should know that you can't drain the battery every day or it will fail, thus the need for a battery bank.

Not every city gets the same amount of sunlight, thus the need for more or less solar wattage. go back to school dude. Save your redneck designs for your shed.

You can't have watts per hour...) If the panel system says it produces 200 watts, that's its maximum output. It depends on how much sunlight there is.
