Jul 20, 2008 - I love pv's. I have a 72 watt array on my shed roof. They charge up a 12 volt van battery that i use to run strip lights, my laptop, mobile phone, sony psp, portable freeview tv, charge nimh batteries of all shapes n sizes and anything else i can plug in to a cigar lighter socket. I can use my mains inverter to run small household appliances too. Its the way forward for sure! Its been in place for 2 years now & not once has the battery gone flat :)
