[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1402146, member: 9198"] I should have never opened my mouth. 1. A solar panel outputs DC (direct current). Your incubator requires AC (alternating current). You CAN NOT power an AC appliance with DC - period. 2. You CAN NOT power your entire house with a generator costing $6K or at least not a new generator. Household requirement is going to be in the neighborhood of 24KW not counting appliances that happen to start at the same time. If you don't believe me look it up. This kind of information is readily available on the inter web. If ANYONE tries to tell you different they're blowing smoke up your skirt. 3. If your load is only 650 watts, (two incubators at 325 watts each, round up to 1000 watts) why would you want to power you whole home? 4. A 1KW generator is readily available for < $600 almost anyplace - start with Home Depot. Here's a link to a solar place. Call them and tell them what you want.
