I want to know how many hours can I get out of one 12 volt deep cycle solar powered battery for home use.?

Can I run lights?


You'll need to know the amp/hour rating of the battery and factor in the current (amp) load demand of the devices being used. I don't think you'll be able to operate a stove for long (if at all) though a DVD player and low wattage light shouldn't be

  • 10 things I want from cleantech in 2012

    Let’s face it: For cleantech, at least in the U.S., this year was kind of a bummer. I just read MIT Tech Review’s Year in Energy post and I got depressed. But that’s what New Year’s resolutions and wishes are for: turning a new page when the year starts over.

    And now that we’re getting close to the end of 2011, it’s that time to ponder what we want and need from an industry so crucial to global economics and sustainability, but continuing to struggle in various ways.

    Here’s what I want from cleantech in 2012:

    1. Goodbye to Solyndra.  It’s time for the fog of bankrupt solar company Solyndra to clear. Yes, there could still be findings from any hearings or more auctions, and since Solyndra has turned into a political issue, it will still rear its ugly head in the run up to the elections. But any lessons that could be learned from Solyndra have already happened, and anything left over is just a distraction at this point. Let’s kill this beast.
