TV_LEDLight_Installed

Chris Roberts converted all of the lighting in his home to LED lighting that is 100% powered by solar energy. The project consists of a Solar Array, a Battery Bank, a Networked Power Distribution and Control System, and 24 LED lights. The solar array racks, LED lights and the power distribution and control system are his own design. The solar array is made up of eight 85W rack mounted solar panels. The racks allow the panels manually pointed toward the sun by adjusting azimuth and elevation. There are 7 12V Concorde Sun Extender in the battery bank. The 12VDC is distributed to networked control circuits. The LEDs are controlled by a master controller that reads touch switches and motion sensors and then sends on/off commands to the LEDs. The lights turn themselves off when not needed to conserve energy.
