Solar Powered Air Conditioner? Is it enough power?

Here is a 100-Watt Solar Panel Kit ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882260013&cm_re=solar_power-_-82-260-013-_-Product ),
my MAIN QUESTION is, what does it mean to say that this is a 100 watt solar panel?
Does it mean that it can store 100 watts an hour/minute/second in a battery?
Can it store enough power into a battery to power a window A/C which requires 1900/1880 Watts to Condition Air?

Solar energy system for emergencies?

Ten years ago at my old house I put in a backup power system with 4 panels 12v 45 watts each, fed through a large inverter for backup power. At that time the Panels were 400 each (people said they’d get cheaper in the future) But Now i’ve searched everywhere, and Panels are like 800 dollars each. My question is: Is solar Power ever going to be affordable? I’m already having a hard time with loans that I have, so I need to find Panels (maybe a kit?) that I can afford. Doesanybody Know?

What kind of battery do I need?

I just got my first solar-panel starter kit, and I want to use it for my light, so I have to have a battery for it.
The panels are 12 volt, 65 watt.
What kind of battery/batteries, and how many lights can I have on it?
My mistake, it is 60 watt, not 65, and there are 4 panels, I do not know if they are 60 what each, or total.
IGNORE EVERYTHING BEFORE THIS…..
Ok. here are the facts.
4 15 watt solar panels, for a total of 60 watts.
1 200 watt inverter.
1 regulator/controller
I also have 1 75 watt inverter, and 1 800 watt inverter that did not come with the kit.
The only things on them will be lights, and 1 outlet when the power is out, the outlet will be on the main line when we do have power, the lights will be on solar all the time.
What kind of batteries can I use, and how many lights can I have on it?
What kind of batteries do I need, how many, and how many lights can I have on it?
I am also open to ideas on how to hook everything up. I think I know how to do it, but others have already done this sort of stuff, so it would be smart to get ideas from them.

Do it yourself Solar Panels?

We are researching home made solar panels and are wondering if anyone has used the Earth4Energy.com kit? 555energy.com says Earth4Energy.com is the best kit to purchase. Has anyone used a kit?

Which kit did you use?
How easy was it to build?
How much did it cost to build the panels?
How many kw or watts does it produce?
Any other info on the kit or panels you built would be helpful.

Thanks!

How do you make a good solar panel?

I’m thinking about making a nice little solar panel (not cell), any help?

Allowed:
Purchases of solar cells
purchase of other stuff (ie copper flashing’s, wires, etc.)
usage of basic non-electric tools
purchase of any material you can find at a local Home Depot/Walmart

Not allowed:
purchase/usage of electric tools (They scare me)
kits <(this is the big one)

I’m not sure if I can get my hands on a battery or meter thing or whatnot

No kits!

Anyways, I’m planning to buy cells on ebay, that might help

The panel doesn’t have to be macho, it’s just a little experiment… I’ll be perfectly fine with anything that makes over 3 volts/watts/whateverthestandardunitis and it doesn’t have to last more than a year

Help with getting low amp reading with my solar panel array?

I had my solar panel set up for a couple months now and just started to monitor the power output. Right now I have a 90 watt harbor freight kit, and 2 80 watt mono and 2 80 watt poly panels. All are wired in parallel so it should add to about 410 watts at around 20 volts right? I know voltage drop for battery bank after charge controller. So it converts it down to 13 volts. I have an amp meter wired in series before the charge controller and at peek time I only see it reach 14 amp. 14 x 13 volts is 182 watts I am only getting out of the panels. So I cam losing almost 60% of my potential power output from the panels!!!! Why is that? I thought that the amps do not change only the voltage drop for the batteries, so my meter should read almost 20 amps. Which would be 20 x 13 volts = 260 watts output from panels. That is only around 40% of power loss. I am so confused and not happy with the results I am reading here with the amount of money I spent for all of this. Thanks for every ones time and help.
