I'm glad to hear there is a store now. Do you have the name or the address of this store? Hi ald,

I got 4 charge controllers (50A/50A/35A/20A) runnig at 12V. All connected to a bank 6 batteries (200ah each) in paralelle. I got 1 8000w/16000w power inverter 220v to feed my house. So far everything working good. I just put this year 3kW solar panel system and 2 wind turbine on the roof of my house in Visayas near roxas city.

But the last time I was in the Davao, Philippines, I hard time finding andone selling the PV Panels. My solar panel is a science project and a learning project for me and my class. I would need more panels, as you say, to keep a frig or tv powered. I think my total cost for the panel was about $150.00 or so. I's true that if the panels were set up in the Philippines, care would needed to make sure they are protected. Here in the US, if professionally installed, one can hook them into the power grid and actually sell some of the power back to the utility company. I don't know if they do that in the Philippines, but it would be a good idea to start as it would help innovation in the solar industry. Kevin Conrad,

I would get 6 Battery's Deep Cycle 12 Volt like for Wheel Chairs for example . Most Likely what you have built is good only to show that Power is being developed perhaps that's your adjective at this point > Just ton's U Tube Videos on solar that should give you some nice input . You Mentioned $200 at a early on point to develop your Panel >> Heck You can Buy a 100 Watt Panel for about that Cost Now > I expect you know this > was just saying how the cost has come down > Many Panels are much better then others you will discover . A Good Panel will have a 25 Year Warranty. I am In the Philippines Now in fact and can tell you that you will have to weld every Part down or it will be stolen very fast no Doubt . You can hook the Panels together and add as many as you like really . > For a real System start thinking about perhaps 10 to 20 Panels > You will get a lot of interest from the power company hummmm Hello Kevin :

Let me know if you find anything. I usually pay about $65 to $70 for bb box to Mindanao. Not sure if a solar panel will fit, either buy smaller panels or they have bigger bb boxes. Thanks Richard,
