A solar panel will generate direct current (DC). A power
cell - and therefore a battery - can only store DC. If you
need alternating current (AC), then a converter is needed.
It is called an "inverter".
If my W220 had cooled seats the spousal unit would immediately take control of

Thanks - that helps. I wonder why there is no simple kit that goes from PV
to 110 V without all the interconnecting parapernalia, battery, inverters,
etc.

Extension cord from the house to the shed would be vetoed immediately by
SWMBO.

Go and buy a 100 foot power cord. Minimum 12/3. I saw one in a flyer
this morning for $50 here and you can likely get it there for less.
That should be sufficient for your heating mats unless you are using a
lot of them.
Don't expect any code issues if you just plug it in at the house and at

There probably is if you look around. It won’t be cheap, however.
Doing it yourself is really pretty easy. As previously described, you only
need three things:
PV panel
12V battery
Inverter (DC to AC)
Work backwards by calculating your load. If you’ve got 100W of 110VAC load,
you’ll need

Hey, we had a Mercury Sable (as well as a Ford Taurus). They were not
bad cars.
The Sable had electrical gremlins that bugged us but apart from that it
was a nice car. It rode well and had pretty decent power for a basic 3.0
pushrod engine.

Dad just installed a 100w solar system at camp. Bought a kit from Amazon plus a

How much power do the grow mats pull? Can't be too much, I still think a 100w

HF's panels are a scam, 45 watts for $180, Amazon has 100w for around $140 with

All 60x engines have the intake that loops over the top of the IP. I think only
the 603 loops over the top of the engine.

Gotcha.
So what you really need is a 100' extension cord for those times when you
actually need power...

Not a think wrong with the Taurus or Sable. They were good transportation
providers for the price. Very common, nothing distinctive about their design,
blended in with everything else on the road of that vintage.

On the OM603 turbo the intake manifold hangs over the IP, GPs, Alda etc.
The crossflow head is more effecient than the olderintake/exhause on
the same side, but that makes the engine more servicable.
