   RW>Actually, I was thinking in terms of 10-12ea 12v batteries in series,   
   RW>which makes up 120vdc. Then a 2nd bank making up the other 120vdc and   
   RW>converting each to AC, providing 220vac.   
      
   Now you are talking BIG Bucks. That would take 20 to 24 45 Watt solar   
   panels at about $200 Each for a quality panel. IF you hurry you c   
   uld pick up 20 to 24 of those $149 Harbor Freight kits and throw   
   away everything except the panels and save a few bucks.   
      
   And you may need to custom build your inverters as 48 Volt converters   
   are the highest voltage I could locate.
