Solar Powered Audio

A solar trickle charger, Tvad, is what I said. And; Last I checked, I've never heard of a solar-voltaic cell checking out over sun spots.

Yes you did. My apology.

No probs Tvad - last thing anyone wants is a house fire. Still, DC to AC to DC should be amazingly clean sound; if you look at the history of the development of DC by Tesla, you can see why the guy promoted it so crazily. In almost every respect its better power. Just weaker.

Hello from Down under,Australia...
I have been running a Solar set up now for 6 years and recently upgraded my 20 Solar Panels and also added a Wind Generator...that's for running a KR Audio Kronzilla and all the other goodies in the past...Power was too costly to bring up to my isolated bush property,so I really had no choice...I am now running two seperate systems,with different batteries and different 24VDC to 240VAC Converters,both being pure sine wave converters...to share some experiences gained over the years!!!!...one set of batteries is lead acid,the other one is Ni-Cad...they both sound different...to my ears ,the Ni-Cad is a bit smoother...the same goes for the sine wave voltage converters... both sine waves look the same and are very clean,BUT,they sound different...the output rating is about the same...I will be completing my wiring with better cables to the dedicated power points soon,fuses to my ears also sound better than circuit breakers...our Australian ones are different than yours...I recently also went to a battery S/S amplifier and was suprised by the result...In summary...oversize your battery supply and try different once,preferably sealed ,if using a voltage converter,make sure it is a good pure sine wave ...
the result will be clean,dynamic music "pure"...hope this is of some help !!!! Helmut

Hey - You have gotta post some pics and include wiring and stuff, unless you are going into business. Like instantly; we all want to see.
