Information for New People who are interested in DC-System;
Yesterday i purchased the following items from Hall Road, Lahore.
2 Solar Panel Mono (German Cells-China make/Dark Black Colored cell, no blueish shading) 150Watts-18Volts each (for a 12Volts system)... Rs.8,500/- x 2 = Rs.17,000/-
1 PWM Charge Controller 30Amps with LCD display (i like this controller as it displays Battery Volts, Amps we get from solar, Amps we use through Load, Max-Min volts setting for Load disconnect to save our battery for being low discharge and soon be dead)... Rs.2,200/-
Single core Cable 16mm - 26 yards (13red & 13black @140/yard) from Panels to Charge Controller... Rs.3,640/-
Double core Cable 150/76 - 25 yards (somthing like good speaker cable we use @80/yard) from Charge controller to my DC-Fans & Lights... Rs.2,000/-
2 DC Fan 12Volts-36Watts each (with regulator & remote, 9-steps speed @ Rs.3,600/- i checked on shop and the consumption was moving between 0.8/0.7/0.6Amps - without fins)... Rs.7,200/-
6 DC Bulbs 12Volts-10Watts each @150/- ... Rs.900/-
2 pair of MC4 connectors (@200/-per pair as i don't want to cut the panels MC4 connectors, with these 2 pair of MC4 connectors, i will make a joint for my both panels to connect parallel as a 12Volt+12Volts=12Volts)
Dry Battery 12Volts-100Ah... Price is not confirmed till now as the purchase is pending yet... but approx Rs.14,000/-
Other fittings (few strips of cable joints connectors, to connect cables of loads & switch buttons & boxes & fuses)... Price is not confirmed till now as the purchase is pending yet... but approx Rs.1,500/-
My Planning is to install 2 Fans and 4,5 Lights all around in the area and use 2-Fans at a time or maximum 1 Fan for 24 hours with 2 or 3 lights in the evening, but installed more items so where we need, we may use accordingly.

One very interesting thing...
When i ask the shop person for Circute-Breakers-System for this setup, he just replied...
Aap kon sa heavy volts ka system chala rahy ho!
Charge controller hay naa, uss me Fuse lagay howay hain...
koie Breaker ke zaroorat nahi.
1.Solar bhee Charge Controler sy connect hay..
2.Battery bhee Charge Controller sy connect hay..
3.Load bhee Charge Controller sy connect hay..
Jub bhee auray ga Charge Controller he auray ga..
Pahly aap 5500 ka liya thaa ab woo he 2200 ka hay agli baar aur sasta mil jaye ga..
Itna Dara naa karoo..
Hahaha...
I was just like.. "OK"
but...
i will adjust Auto-DC-Fuse within my system for my satisfaction.

Hope this system will work for - 24 hours a day - 7 days a week - 12 months a year
for 2,3 years without any major expense..
And after that, the major expense will be... Replacement of Battery.
And as per my instinct Battery will work that much or more time as i calculated the load upto 50% max within 24 hours
and then NEW-SUN, NEW-ELECTRICITY-GENERATION, that will top up the Battery once again....

i may not be able to post the original pics of the said system after installation, as this is for a quite far away Exact Rural Area (that place is a Perfect Gaoun of 20-30 homes) where electricity may be available just for maximum 6-10 hours daily and if ever got a fault then may be not available for a couple of days... easily a week...
And not for publicity but to encourage the others who may afford and can help and do little things for the ease of others, who are really needy...
This DC-System is designed for a Charity School running there since a decade (i personally know those ppls who are running and taking care of it and educating our generations, which truly is the need of us "Pakies").
Please find some places like that and help the others upto the level you can do..
Believe me...
Unlimited Happiness you will feel in the core of your Heart.
Thanks for reading this Longgggg but hopefully informative thing.
