    The Taj Mahal Needs Solar Power

    I turned a 10'X10' storage building into a deer blind (rifle). I want to be able to run a small color TV, satellite TV receiver, radio, and charger for my iPhone.

    I know I need a deep cycle battery, solar panel, inverter, and wiring but I am not sure what size, etc. of all that stuff I need! I am sure there are other needs that I am not aware of.

    I'd like to be able to watch TV and charge my phone for about 4 hours on Friday and all day/night on Saturdays.

    Help me put together a parts list so I can watch football on Saturdays from the deer stand!

      Try this setup. I bought one for my small cabin for running lights, chargers, etc. This will be the first season with it so the jury is out.

        I caught it on sale for 149. I will hook up 2 Deep Cycle batteries to this.

                    My question would be, how long will a battery run a tv and sat box?
                    Can you fit enough panels on the system to recharge fast enough to replace the drain.

                              My question is, in the off season are ya gonna rent that out as a bed and breakfast? Drop in a window unit and you're good to go. Maybe even dig out a below ground hot tub that doubles as a water source for huntin' season...give me a little time, I could think of lots of updates for ya
