One of our panels is a Kyocera. One thing you might think about in the future when replacing your present computers is that laptops are very energy efficient. My new one is a energy star. And you are not bugging me....I like helping you if I can. katlupe Those prices sound very good. One of our panels is a Kyocera.

Also, going to check Northern Arizona Wind and Sun. Backwoods Solar 65 watts @ $425.00 free shipping Northern Arizona Wind and Sun 65 watts $335.40 Shipping UPS Ground $30.11. Both same brand name Kyocera. Will get with hubby to see when we can order. Will not bug you until this process is done. Thank you for all your help. Yes, I know that you probably posted all this later in your blog. But your response to me was more in layman's terms that I could understand and I appreciated you taking the time to say it all over again in a way that I could relate to.

Then add it all together and that is how many watts you need. First, before you worry about your internet connection......you will need 1-2 solar panels depending on how many watts you need. Then you need to hook them up to a charge controller. From there they go to the batteries and from there to your inverter. Now the inverter is where you plug in your plugs from the computers and printer. If you read every post I have made on here, I have covered everything you need. As far as your internet connection, no using an alternative energy source does not effect that. We have dial-up ONLY because nothing else is available to us out here. As I said in one of my previous posts and in my book which you have read, we started out with a tiny charge controller, one 50 watt panel, 2 fork-lift truck batteries, an automotive inverted bought fron Walmart and that was our system. We used our old car to charge the batteries when we were low on power. It worked! katlupe Look at the label on your computers and printer that will tell you how much wattage each use.

First question, will this affect our internet connection? Second question, do we unplug from the outlets? Third question, how do we put on solar power? Fourth question, how many panels and at what wattage would it take? Told you I needed layman's terms for dummies. Cuz I don't understand how to even begin.
