Hi,
We could never justify having to deal with all the extra BS of a
solar/wind site. If $50/month for the power is a big expense at this new
site, you may want to consider a new business model. :)

Hey guys,
I'm looking at a site where we will use about 100 watts of power and
trying to figure long term costs of doing solar instead of paying for
a power connection. The power connection would cost between $40-50 per
month with between 80-100 kWh per month of usage. Even if we go with
grid power, we still planning on having at least 150ah of battery
backup available.
If we decide to go solar and provide enough power to not have an
outage with overcast days, what are your suggestions for the amount of
solar wattage needed and how many batteries we'd need?
Any advice with solar would be great so we can compare costs. Thank you
