Solar Power Research #4

Open nelsonic opened 6 years ago

One of the most important (and affordable) sources of power for our "off-grid container home" is Solar. ☀️

IKEA have recently started offering Solar Panels https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/ikea/solar-panels image £7,455 = €8,443 16-panel @ 270W = 4.320KW This is only a "guide" price not a "quote" and there's not much point getting an "official" quote because they don't sell the panels in PT yet ... 🙄
IKEA is actually quite expensive compared to damiasolar.com (see below) But the reason it's good that IKEA are "jumping on the bandwagon" is that they will drive/increase adoption and that will accelerate competition (price decline).

In Portugal, I would use this company because Solar power is their exclusive focus: https://www.damiasolar.com/produtos/kit_energia_solar/kit-de-autoconsumo-solar-4000w-de-injec-o-zero_da1002_112 image
