What can you run on a 100 watts

hey guys just want to do a little video for you for about uh 100 watt solar panels what you can run on them this is a question I had when I was getting mine which is kind of reason that I got my setup to kind of get an idea of what it could do on it what I have is 100 watt renergie solar panel or the PWM charge controller I've got two six volt Duracell golf cart batteries wired in parallel the positive and negative to give me a 12 volt battery bank at 225 amp hours now what that means is I have a hundred watts and our charging capability and I've got 225 amp hours of capacity on my batteries now if you haven't done a lot of research on this the amp hours you have to take volts times amps which will give you your wattage so for 225 amps I'll have 2,500 watts to play with and I can only take my batteries down to 50 percent discharge so all I have twelve hundred and fifty watts you know before I have to recharge my batteries that I can use so my panel my R energy panel I'm peaking hours usually get about 80 watts an hour on it so altogether without peak hours and everything I probably have six to seven hundred Watts a day out of that one panel to use so depends on what I want to do it can charge my laptops my laptop is about 60 watts an hour to charge my iPhones about 50 watts my TV which have a really inefficient TV it's 150 watts and my Xbox is 80 watts so it really depends on what I want to do so I've got that 1250 watts of battery capacity that I could use to drain my batteries down to 50% and it usually take me two days to charge it back up with that one rittany hundred watt solar panel so I could run my TV you know for about 6 hours with the Xbox to give you kind of an idea what you can run the fridge my fridge is a hundred watts an hour with the cycling on and off I can run it for about a day before the discharge my batteries right now I don't have enough solar panel to charge it back up enough to keep it running all these harm but eventually that'll what that'll what I'll be end up doing if you're just getting into this my suggestion would be to get get you the hunter watt renji solar panel kit with the PWM charge controller it's not much a difference from MPT t charge controller and it'll get you a good start for around hundred eighty bucks the golf cart batteries I played around a little bit with the other ones the deep-cycle batteries they seem to be a lot better batteries they hold up charge better they're a little bit bigger batteries but if you get the hundred watt renji solar panel kit then if you get the two golf cart batteries you're doing pretty good you can go ahead and buy another hundred watt panel later on that with it and it'll charge up pretty good so if you all have any questions or anything just short video to go over it don't have any questions just leave in comments and I'll try to answer
