praks,a battery can be charged by solar panel and with the help of inverter dc is converted to ac.

lecameleon said:Just to answer a few other questions unanswered previously.. 'cost effective in the long run'.. most certainly.. :bleh: if you run long enough.. honestly, we will probably be better off waiting till the end of this year when cost effective panels will be out. The cost per kilowatt is not too good at the moment but things will change

there are few things-
5)the solar panel has also a life for few years after which you have to invest same amount of money again.

Since you're in the know, are there some interesting developments expected at the end of this year? Throw us a couple of hints if so
A solar panel's lifespan is about 25 years I believe. What you will be spending on more frequently are the batteries - those will last only about 3 yrs.
