So, materials are about $1700 ( $528 + $(555+299+2*35+60+ 300 + 10 ) Installation and wiring was quoted over $1000 by AmSolar. My local contractor quoted $600. Hope this helps!
[ My needs are just charging laptop and cell phones. So I would consider the Goal Zero portable system that Gina showed, had I not already done the current system.]
My two panel system is a result of following Andy Baird's instruction http://www.andybaird.com/Eureka/pages/solar.htm
I bought Two batteries from Amazon (2*$264 = $528, gives 12V and 250 Amh), and all other materials from AmSolar:
- Pre configured system including 1 solar panel, controller, cables ($555)
- One extra solar panel kit ($299)
- TwoTilt bar set ($35 each)
- cable box for wiring through the air conditioning Optional $60
- inverter is $150 - $300 I think - inherited mine from the previous RV owner.
- Sealant ($10)
