Fourteen Harbor Freight individual solar panels from their 45 Watt kits. They are mounted on 2x4 frames with seven panels each giving 210 Watts of power for all fourteen. In the next couple of weeks we'll install the other 14 panels for a total of 420 Watts, which combined with the previous 1600 of solar gives me 2Kw of solar power. I also have 2Kw of wind power which I'm going to raise the tower to a total of 100 to 150 feet depending on cost. I expect the added height should produce 1Kw constant if not more.

Future addition of solar panels from kits and individual panels I purchased from Harbor Freight. I bought the 45watt kits with coupons for 0 - that's about .50 a watt whic is not too bad. I bought five kits and seven individual 15watt panels, that gives me a total of an additional 330 watts. I had already installed 1.6Kw of solar panels so this gives nme about 2Kw of total solar panel. When both of my wind turbines are running it will probably add another Kilowatt or less (because the wind is not blowing 20mph all the time). So overall I plan on adding six more 210 watt panel with individual Emphase drid tie inverters and that will add another 1.2Kw to the 2Kw I already have. Once those are added it will be time to quit with the solar and wind as I have many other projects in the queue.
