I've got a 30x60 pole barn that is basically empty except a camper/bass boat and my pickup truck. I keep a fridge running to keep my shop beers cold, uses about 10 kWh a month. The shed itself is used for cold storage, anything major gets preformed up at the farm (1/2 mile up the road) or in the garage.
this months power bill was around $37 , $35 of the $37 was "customer and meter charge" (those prices have doubled over time)
So I'm going to tell the power company to stop supplying power to the barn and put that $ towards something else that'll run what I "need" to run more economically.
Does anyone have experience with any of the solar setups? don't really need much, just something for 5-6 125watt bulbs (are only one for 2-3 minutes a day) and "maybe" the beer fridge ?
