Q&A: How many solar panels with one wind generator would you need to power a pop up?

January 24th, 2012

Question by tucher87: How many solar panels with one wind generator would you need to power a pop up?
I am looking at buying a pop up and would like to make it run off of deep cycle batteries but charging these batteries I would like to use a combination of solar panels and 1 wind generator. How many batteries would I need how many solar panels and what wind generator should I buy. I would be powering the lights an fridge and sometimes a AC or Heater.

Thanks
I live in west Texas where it never rains and its always windy

Hope it’s not cloudy without wind for a while, you’ll be left with warm food and darkness.

An air conditioner/heater would be such a huge load on the system, wind/solar most likely don’t make sense for an individual, unless you’re on a lake or in California where it’s sunny everyday.

You would need around 200 W for a fridge, 100 W for small lights, and….500 W (?) for heating/air….so you’re looking at some pretty big batteries!! Every 2 hours you will use at least 1.5 kWh of energy.

This step works well for resins that are less expensive and do not tolerate extensive UV exposure. The tape filters the UV and also locks the cells in place. There are several UV resistant Duct Tapes and other power adhesive tapes on the market. I like standard White Strapping Tape
