Our power project

We're going to do a basic solar setup, as it will cost many thousands to get grid power to our land. We don't need much power as our main requirements are just for lighting, internet and laptops which is around 100W of power. This means that a 100Ah battery and about 300W of panels should do the trick. We probably don't need a really expensive inverter, one such as this US$20 200W model should be fine. We'll still need a decent charge controller.

For the panels, we'll probably get a kit like this which gets the price down to around R$2.50 per Watt.
