solar or electricity

Electric. Save yourself the money and string some Christmas lights up. That's what these basically are. We ordered these, returned them the next day and are thrilled with our Christmas lights wrapped around our gazebo and the extra $50 we saved by doing so.

The version of lights I have are NOT solar. I am very happy with these lights.

They are electric. As a warning, they lasted about 3 hours before the wires burned through and burned holes in the the gazebo roof. Stay away from these.

Just an opinion here, Kindle Customer; If I were you and had 'that' kind of money I'd get kit anyway and 'go solar' for just part of the house--part of the kitchen comes to mind. Right off the top of my head I'd have somebody wire up the hot water heater, fridge, and maybe a light. Check the wattage for all three and see how it matches up. Plan B would be to wire up a window air conditioner. Futher, you need to remember solar panels work best with batteries hooked up to them.

The solar panel is. Too bad the lamp doesn't have a handle. I'm always using the lamp as a direct-beam lantern around the property at night, and on dark area plumbing tasks. Just don't get the lamp interior wet.

AC 120v. There's a solar panel and battery you can get, however, you need at least a 40w panel. I installed mine hardwired, no battery or solar, I just didn't want to deal with future maint and issues solar and batteries can bring into the mix.

I use a 20watt panel and a voltage regulator. If you have a battery,you will need a solar regulator.

Mookie, unfortunately, I have never attempted this. I've often wondered if there was a solar option as well but have yet to investigate it further.

electric, I've had it almost a year and use it every night with no problems at all.

solar panel with D-Cell back-up. You can select power from the solar batteries or the D-cell, gives it added flexibility for use in emergencies

Sorry I haven't this knowledge. Sounds like you want a solar still, or some sort of camping gear.

You can use the device without the solar panels connected. The panels are just used to charge the device.

Any type. Either standard incandescent or the newer spiral energy efficent.

The solar power is saved to a 12 volt battery . An inverter is hooked up to the battery and it (the inverter) changes the 12 volts to 120 volt AC power .

Neither. It is just a great mirror you screw in to the wall. No electricity required.

Electric. Plug it in. I don't think batteries would ever give enough power.

Your electric Power needs to be protected from the elements. You could use solar/batteries for this as well, but no matter what you use, you have to seal all connections from the weather, wire connectors, tape, combination of all. If your connections are not completely sealed, they will short out what ever power source you use.

Those solar panels are very good, you can easy install them and use, make sure you will have controller connected.

I'm looking for back-up power. Can I use any solar power for household appliances? I am thinking 2012.
