My friend's son is an electronic's expert who teaches people how to DIY their own 64 watt solar panels. I'm either going to have him build me a few or teach me how to do it myself if I have the time. Then I'm going to probably install a bunch on my flat rooftop leading to a bank of batteries in my front area which will then power my tank off-grid. I will have another set of panels on my pergola roof to power my new greenhouse (12' x 8' x 10' tall) once I build it, to power the koi pond pumps/filters/heater and lights/fans.
I figure the payback time for all these panels will be years, but its more of a cool project than a way to actually save money.
These are my plans but hopefully things will come to fruition this spring/summer.
