Hi. I'm a woman trying to put an off grid emergency system together on a budget. I live in a condo and have a small balcony but get lots of sun on the balcony and through the living room windows. I'm from Victoria, Canada (and it can be quite cloudy for long periods in the winter).
I just bought a chinese made flexible 100W 12 v polychristalline panel which comes with a PMW charge controller. I'm wanting to add to that and saw a panel on Amazon.ca https://www.amazon.ca/BougeRV-Monoc...qid=1589701601&sprefix=bougerv,aps,212&sr=8-3
Can I efficiently connect the two panels together?
I am hoping to run a small frigidaire 5 cu chest freezer which is 1.4 amp and 218KW per year. Along with a few 4 watt lights a tablet and some kind of heating device (yet to be found) - possible some kind of small TV and wifi unit. Would be happy to start with just the Freezer and tablet (and grow from there).
I had planned to get 1 or two 120ah deep cyle marine 12 volt batteries. Can I put those two batteries together? Depending on the answers what size of inverter.
I had thought of getting a Jackery 500 and then powering it with the 100W panel. https://www.amazon.ca/Jackery-Porta...y+500&qid=1590464926&s=kitchen&sr=1-1-catcorr
and then using a and then using a 120ah marine deep cycle battery and running 12V DC appliances on it directly. Is that possible? https://www.amazon.ca/Universal-wat...ix=12v+cigarette+lighter,aps,233&sr=8-25&th=1
Definitely don't know what I'm doing. Any help appreciated.
