The Power Generation consists of:

A Topsolar Panel Kit of 2 x 100 watt 12v 20 amp panels with included cables and controller from Amazon. Out of stock now replaced by WUZEK kit of same specs.

One HumisiENK 12v 100Ah LiFePO4 Battery 1240 Wh from Amazon

and One 2000W TopBull Pure SineWave Inverter 12vdc to 110vac 4000W peak power from Amazon. Out of stock now replaced by FOVAL inverter of same specs.

Prices have went up about 15% since my purchases so total cost is now about $510.00

I use 3 200W Led High Bay lights to light the shop.

If I find myself needing additional power at some point, I will consider adding additional battery storage or other components, but so far the solar panels have kept the storage battery charged up nicely.
