What kind of Solar Power panel setup do I need for this?
I've been figuring ways to keep water thawed out this winter, and this bucket seems to be the easiest thing.
What kind of set up (solar panel) would I need to feed this 260 watt heated bucket?
http://www.kvvet.com/KVVet/productr.asp?pf%5Fid=88772&gift=False&HSLB=False&mscssid=0F75B25C6AD0E436780637F7352A1BA8
Unfortunately solar panels are low output,generally only 12 volt and very low amperage,so you would need to build a multi panel array with a DC-AC converter all together costing several hundred dollars which would only work during sunlight.Just roughly figuring,about $1800.
Plan2-Solar charger,battery bank,and DC-AC inverter so it would work 24hrs a day,also several hundred $$.
Solar power does just not seem feasible(to me)in this application.By far the cheapest set up here would be an extension cord from"house" to the bucket.260 watts per hr is a fairly lightweight draw,even not figuring the thermostat's
cycling it on and off as needed.Electricity is sold in kilowatt hours(1000W/1hr).This bucket would use(not allowing for thermostats control lowering it)appx 6000watts or 6KW per day.Depending on your electrical cost per Kwh it would cost very little to run.(In my location appx 50cents a day) or appx the same amount as my computer(325watts total))
Note that that would be a maximum rate,and would actually be less due to thermostat cycling off and on as needed.
