From the site:

"Already bought a "DeckPower120" solar appliance and want to add more green power? "DeckPower120" solar was designed for easy connection, and additional kits can be added over time, up to 5 kits can be connected into a single outside receptacle, and can produce over 1,000 watts of clean green energy!"

http://spinrayenergy.com/DeckPower120.html

So that's a total of 25 solar panels (each kit has five panels).

So if you have 1000 watts* / 120 v you get 8.3 Amps. Most (US) household 120 are wired at 15 amps max (via the wire gauge + circuit breaker). 20 amps circuits require heavier wire and larger circuit breakers.

*1000 watts assume max output from solar panels.

I should send this to my master electrician brother to see what he thinks of these.



Incorrect, each kit only comes with 1 panel. So 5 kits means you get 5 panels.

"The DeckPower120™ solar appliance comes with everything you need to start receiving FREE supplimental home solar energy: (1) 240 watt high efficiency mono-crystalline solar panel listed to UL 1703 "
