Correction I have 2 panels 1.4 amps @ 30 watts each. Today I hooked my 175x350 watt inverter into my breaker box. I unhooked the hot and ground to 1 room in my house then hard wired it to my inverter. I ran my 27" tv and dish dvr with a battery charger turned to 12v 2 amp and my batts never drained. they did sustain w/the 2 amp charge. Upon further thought I am leaning toward converting my wind turbine to a water turbine. I have a stream behind my home about 200 yds. It is approx. 9 feet wide 2.5' deep and runs about 2mph. I think if I dam it up to create more velocity directly in the middle then gear it correctly I will be better off.

It wouldn't be too hard to beat the panels with hydro, in output per day.
One mini unit at half an amp would do it.
Then keep the panels and double your power.
