Solar Micro Home energy use?

Ok So I'm building a small (150sq/foot) Home mic near Patten Maine. You can imagine that the size of a hunting camp. According to research I've done so far, the area is ideal for solar and wind energy. (what is not supposed to be me forget these elements: the heat is provided by a wood stove, water is pumped and hand hot water is done in the wood stove) My first question is how as big of a solar panel and battery bank will I need besides this wind turbine [http://www.shop.senecaelectronicsonline.com/product.sc?productId=76&categoryId = 19] to ensure (wherever possible) remains in power. This house would be 100% of electricity supply. Using food products (I found energy use online estimates are not sure how accurate it is) Laptop: 0.085 kWh Satellite Fund: 0.36 kWh Satellite Dish: 0.5kwh 32 "LCD TV: 0.128 kWh Frigobar: 0.059 kWh Air conditioning: 1.05 kWh 3 Fluorescent Lights: 0.18 kWh Assuming these articles ran continuously 18 hours a day. Thanks for any help.

Hey senior, have a nice project. Let me tell you briefly about our own, then give my suggestions. We had a cabin 600 square feet of logs in northern Michigan, which had the power utility, but the power was constantly going out. We started with a small system, just run with some lights and electronics in the hall during the cuts. Using that, I learned a lot about solar energy and wind power. It is now 10 years later, we have a range of 1.4 kW solar panels on the roof of the garage, and a 900 watt wind turbine in the field behind our house. In summer, the solar array produces all our might, just, and in winter, the wind turbine is about half the work. Intentionally, prognathism to save on costs, and because the utility still had to help. If I were you, this is what I'd do. Designing a system of good quality, with a battery bank of a slightly larger size, which does not reach the parent, and add a generator. A good system will have a good quality sine wave inverter and a trojan or Surette batteries, a digital count and solar charge controller disconnects UL. The disconnections are all that prevents the wiring from catching fire, if somewhat short. The charge controller to have will help you keep track of your production solar energy, so you know if something is not working properly, and the sine wave inverter will run everything in your home. Investors not only cheaper are things that can not power, as battery chargers and electronic cards oven, but actually damaged some items may be connected to them. Than I discovered this the hard way, a new charger for my Dewalt drill for $ 55. The reason for large batteries and that does not reach the matrix is twofold. Search the library of a book by Richard Perez called "The Complete Book of the battery." Just read the chapters on lead acid batteries. Once buy batteries, you can add more to them later, old and new fight each other. The solar panels however, are the most expensive part of your system, You can add any amount later, even different brands, they all get along well. So if you start with 1000 watts of solar power, and decide a year then you need 400 more, no problem, and it has extended the coast more than a couple years, and more importantly, do not buy more in the beginning. The generator is necessary because no matter how powerful the system is well designed, Wil always have one or two days at the end of the month in which they fall short, and not good for longevity battery run down too deep trying to get through a week of rain. Although the design of your system, you should only have to start the generator once or twice a month for few hours each. You listed a fairly conservative list of energy use here, for a total of about 2.5 kWh per day. I expect a little more than that, an additional light or two, and so on. Think about LED lighting also, my suggestion is to look for LED Christmas lights after holidays, are twice as effective as CF lamps, and fun. We have a network covering 130 feet covered terrace, very nice, only uses 12 watts. What I would do first is to subscribe to Home Power magazine is the only periodical devoted to this, and is inexpensive. I will list below. Also, if there a renewable energy fair near you next spring, go to it, that's how we started. Home Power will have information on this. Indeed, our house was featured in the magazine twice, once for our small system, and again when you upgrade. You can go to his website after signing up, use your search engine, and find an article titled, "since childhood." Are also getting a good time to get into that. The solar panels have suddenly dropped in price, although the batteries are addressed above. There are some good deals to be contained in batteries for telecommunications at the moment, all cell phone companies overbought for its towers, which are now being consolidated. Also a list of a couple other places in search of information on the future system. What power you need is a little confusing to determine if I had to guess usage information they have given, I think 600 to 800 watts of solar energy could only do so, so you could think of going with something closer to 1000, but you can start with 600 or less, and move upward. If you go to be alone and has no utility, batteries should contain about 5 days of power without any solar gain. So in 2.5kwh per day, 12.5 kWh of battery storage would be sufficient, a little more would be better. If your batteries discharge only from 10 to 20 percent each day, which should last about 10 years. Our bank is 11 years now, is the need for replacement next spring, we have several cells that have failed. You have to learn about irrigation and rotation of the batteries, check out the sources below. As an example, a Trojan T-105, which is his golf cart battery has 220 hours Ampere at 6 volts. AH X volts = watt-hours, so 220 X 6 = 1320 watt hours
