August 27th, 2013 01:52 AM #52^ P4k for 50W around 8k for 100W that does not include the charger/regulator worth P2k, batteries, and inverter.
So far its charging 40Ah VRLA and able to sustain a 60watts VHF transceiver and some basic electronics. Don't know yet up to when the alum cladding would turn into dust, its mounted in a boat e. hehe
BTT: Nice idea.Another stop gap solution that works. I just hope those holes doesn't leak..Last edited by 12vdc; August 27th, 2013 at 01:55 AM.

The difference, again, is a skylight doesn't have light diffractive properties.
Fiberglass roofing might achieve the same effect, but a single sheet costs much more than a bottle light.
So, total damage with batteries and inverter? Sounds intriguing. If it can sustain a 60w transceiver, it should be good for several indoor LED bulbs. Kahit hallway lighting lang, okay yun.

August 27th, 2013 07:32 PM #56Plastic and FG transluscent roofing is availalble in the market but not as sturdy as GI that could last 20+yrs.
More or less 15k including mounting and wiring. Transceiver consumes only when transmitting, most of the time its on standby rx mode and battery on tickle charge.
I have actually one in the farm as a hobby project, it does the automatic lightning timer 6 x 7w LED lights using 2 banks of batteries. Haven't tried it yet for higher loads but im guessing it's running around 40% on its duty cycle (battery mode) using 0.75kva inverter. It does do the job, turns on 6PM then turns off 6AM.. Intitial cost is high while on maintenance side, batteries lasted 2.5years and the panels need regular inspection or cleaning.
For the boat, i need to install one because the engine doesnt have alternator and i don't wanna mess with the already messy engine (it doesn't have electricals, have non-functioning heater plugs. Starts by manually turning the crankshaft with a rope. Unbelievable but yeah it starts in one pull of the rope. lol)Last edited by 12vdc; August 27th, 2013 at 07:36 PM.

Yeah... FG roofing, perhaps ten years, tops... the bote light goes five years between refills, and even if you have to replace a sun-weathered plastic bottle every five years, that's cheaper than the roofing.
15k? Not bad. six 7w LEDs is enough for our perimeter lighting at night.
Hmmmm...

Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
