Hi, your question seem so straight forward and the answer almost everywhere i wonder why the question is still in here. to set up a simple solar power unit for lighting, TV, sound syste
and a fan or two, 1,500USD will not do. you might be looking at about 10,000USD. i have a modest knowledge about this thing, and forget what else you hear. much as you want to save money, a key element in solar power is autonomy (the length of time a unit will stay without sunlight and still provide electric power from the battery back-up).
thee varying waether state means you have to plan for abut 72hours of such autonomy. except maybe you still plan on using generators as often as the sun decides to go on hols. feel free to ask a more direct question at no cost. i will provide same.
