Power Conserver
I must have missed class the day they went over energy conversions and what it all means because electricity just baffles me. The extent of my knowledge in that department is that a 100 watt light bulb uses more power than a 25 watt bulb. I have no idea what this means in terms of cost or energy used. I've looked it up but I just get more confused. I like to consider myself to be pretty intelligent but this is where I make up for it. LOL.
So, I'm trying to figure out what I would need in terms of a solar set up if I want to run a full size refrigerator, a couple of fans, 1/2 a dozen or so lights, a couple of laptop computers and have a little left over to charge some small batteries for flashlights, power tools and such.
Does anyone know how I might find out what I need based on my energy demands? I would need it spelled out s-l-o-w-l-y in 3rd grader terms that my electricity-challenged mind could understand.
