Sorry for late reply gary . Forgot to check back .
I am moving off grid completely , into a caravan , no leccy on site or any mains anything .
Unfortunately , my way of life means no money either , well almost none , during the summer about £10-£40 per week . Most of that goes on haylage in winter .
So doing anything that requires money is very slow to happen .
I have seen a 250w solar kit on amazon , for £519 . I think that would cover my main needs , lights , radio , mobile charging etc , with a small fs tv as a bonus , maybe a laptop too if i can get a cheap s/h one .
So the main setup can be 12v dc . If i could get a 3 way fridge that would be handy too , but i know that is hitting a 250w system hard , but i could run it mainly on gas , with dc being the backup system .
In the mean time , i will be using oil lamps and wind up radios etc .
If money allows i can knock up a 200w windmill , got a 200w 12v jogging machine motor around here somewhere , also got a disabled scooter motor , again 12v but can't see the wattage , but it works .
The bits that go between windmill and battery are maybe the problem for me , as i am a numpty regarding electrics and circuits etc .
Thanks for the reply though .
