Running on batteries

In the near future, very near I hope, I will be supplementing my electricity with solar power. Eventually I hope to go full solar/wind/generator for my electrical needs. I've switched over to very low wattage light bulbs, but will probably step that down even further through the use of LED lights throughout my house.

I will have some obstacles to overcome. Things like how to run a well pump and a small freezer on this type of off-grid power. Still, it's baby steps, I guess.

In the meantime, I'll be looking at power supplies, inverters, and more batteries to supply my needs as I add to my power sources. My TV is fairly low wattage. I use a laptop computer, which can actually be charged in my vehicle by plugging in a small inverter there.

I'll post my progress from time to time.
