My family has a water access only cabin in BC. No electricity or gas, water comes from a creek.
Brother wants to do some remote work and dad wants to be able to charge cellphones, etc for emergencies.
Ive really got no idea aside from the black box components of a solar install we would need.
I assume we need some panels - how many watts would be enough for a 200w laptop and a couple phones charging?
Inverter - something to turn the dc to ac ?
Controller? Do you need anything charge a battery or 2 and provide some ac outlets or will an inverter do this?
Battery - 1 or 2 batteries, load isnt high but would want a bit of a power reserve for cloudy or stormy days. Cabin is on a fresh water lake so corrosion is there, but not the same as on the coast with salt water.
If anyone with some experience has some suggestions on parts id need or basoc designs, id love to see em.
