by Jeff on Dec.31, 2008, under Solar Power
Josh C asked:
What would I need to power a small fan, some LED lights, ect in my home, without spending hundreds or thousands of dollers? How would I set it up? I think I would need a Solar Panel, a AC/DC converter or some kind, and a Battery?

Thanks, 10 points best answer!
