anybody knows where to buy solar power systems ready to be built in?
im looking for a system to power a holiday house where electricity from the grid is often unreliable and expensive
p.s. the house does NOT have 10 flat panel tv's 5 stereo's etc running, so i dont need my own nuclear reactor
Where there is a will i want to be in it!

I think Boeing and some other company just brought out some new panels which are 40% efficient.
If you want the 8%-10% you can buy those in china.

Bloke, hot water is not the problem, for this we already have a solar panel....or well.....not really a solar panel, its a passive solar water heater, connected to a 300 liter insulated tank.
i am now mainly looking for electricity generating and storing, and converting to 220 volts

search Solar panels, they aint cheap. But have to do what u have to do.
Or buy a small gas generator. China made some Yamaha knock offs, 2 stroke, kind of noisy but no need oil change.
Good luck.
Bad wind storm here in Vancouver, even some of us wish they had back up power system.
Have seen wind gen too, a small plane propeller shape. If u live in a windy area then is great.
Home of the 5,8 cylinder.
My bro has 3,4,6 cylnders.
Arrividerci Vancouver!
