Hello all, I’m a total newb to the solar world. I have been doing a lot of reading lately on how to set up a self sufficient power supply for our tower garden. The more I read the thousands of articles and forums the more confused I get. Information overload. Lol. So I’m turning to you folks for any advice you’d be willing to give.
My current setup is all 110volt. There is a 11 watt water pump, a 4 watt air pump and two 40 watt grow lights. The two grow lights are on for 9 hours per day and the water pump and air compressor are on for 10 minutes per hour. So I’ve got it roughly figured that I need around 800-850 watts of power per day. The garden is set up near a large window that get marginal sunlight during the day. We live in Alberta Canada so not near the sunlight in the winter as summer time. Any help with the sizes of batteries, panels and inverter and how many would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
