Anguilla Solar
We just got back from our trip to Anguilla. We helped Francoise set up her new solar power system. Two Kyocera 130 watt PV panels, a Xantrex C35 charge controller, a Trimetric Battery Meter, a Morningstar Microsine 300 sine wave inverter, and a 70 ah AGM battery, power up 3 Compact Fluorescent Lights, A LG WP-680N Washing Machine (260 Watts) and a Shurflo 12v pump. Two weeks of testing, and we were never able to pull the battery below 12.4 volts. The system consistently output 1.5 kWh’s daily. More pics at http://www.green-trust.org/Anguilla Solar/.

hey, just founded you while searching for Anguilla Solar and seems to me just on time!!!
Im planing building my home in Anguilla and I would like to make it an off-grid house.
I would like to know your comments and what solutions shall be most appropriate. Also, if you need to be aware of the floorplans, or special arrangements shall be made…. like we shall get specific space for transformers, a little hut outside the mainbuilding… etc… and… If you could be assisting in the installation.
