I just found out I can buy a decent 400W solar panel in the local hardware store for around 90€ these days.
Are there people around with experience in off-grid solar? There is quite some supply in cheap MPTT charge controllers on the internet. And I can’t afford a 700€ power station. But I would be able to buy a few power tool batteries or one of the lead-acid batteries people put in their caravan. Are there projects building a power station myself? Is this even worth it?
Sure. I was hoping someone already did the hard work and wrote some blog post with specific recommendations. Or findings and failures along the way. Maybe someone has, or I’ll need to have a closer look the the abundance of components for this.
