I can probably put something together something to show everyone what I did to make this system function. I did swap out my inverter today with a 900 watt inverter that has a standby mode. Instead of the one I had that didn't have a stand by mode. It should help the batteries last quite a bit longer. It is a 24 volt model instead of a 12 volt model. My panel is a 24 volt model 230 watt.it produces around 12 amps. So far the system is working well. I just have a couple of used semi batteries hooked in series to make the 24 volts that the panel and the inverter needs to function correctly. I may hook up a couple more batteries to provide even more stored power.
I will put something together in the next few days and get it posted. It really is quite simple. I wonder if someone makes a 12 or 24 volt heat lamp for a brooder?
Excellent, thank you!!!
