Solar panels are expensive <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sad.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":(" title="Sad    :(" data-shortname=":(" />. Also batteries used (usually lead acid car batteries) need to be replaced say every 2 years or so. Over the years battery cost will add up. Is it cheaper to use CEB power if you already have it? Are you using a 12V DC system or 230V AC system using inverter ?Which is better?. Of course AC system will allow you to use any AC device (provided the required power is available from the solar system). But if you are using only for lighting, is DC system more cost effective than AC system ? (will need 12V lights). Nice if you can share your experiences and advice. Thanks!</blockquote>
