I will be frank, I am always keen to have a go but when it comes to Solar technology, I simply have no idea.
My aim. 12 ft by 6ft shed. Power 1 x small freezer. Up to 4 x Re-charge batteries for power tools. 2 x interior led lights and 1 x exterior led light operating motion detection. And most importantly my radio.
The only 24 hour item will be the freezer. I appreciate solar will not be able to power the system during the heights of winter, so a system where the battery can be topped up from the mains electricity would be needed, but hopefully i will not need to do this too often. Some sort of effecient monitoring system so I do not lose power without realising.
1/ can it be done?
2/ what do I need on my shopping list?
I would like to learn and build so appreciate any tips and advice.
