Can anyone tell me the power consumption ... for an off grid installation?

The provided AC/ DC adapter is 24v. .5 amp out. ( consumption) 110-240v .3 amp in. If your off grid I would think you could find 24 V and lose the adapter.

UHM Are you sure you need that much power in 1 month? I use 300kWh at most at my house. Assuming you mean average over a year and not 2,400kWh worse case, you would need around a 25kW array. This also assumes the system is facing south and not obstructed by trees. This is a large system and you would need 174 panels. Typically a residence has around a 5kW array so yours would be 5 times larger.

I have 14 115ah deep cycle batteries powering a small off grid house. On a sunny day the solar system will fully charge the batteries. I will soon be adding a 400 watt wind turbine to help on cloudy days.

I've been using mine for an off-grid house for a little over 2 years now with no problems. We're running normal loads (fridge, computers, internet, etc) all the time, and I've even run a big miter saw off of this inverter a few times with no problems.

My powerland is a 10k watts.... My other gen was a 5500 .... I forget the name but it came from lowes.....

Probably average. I have ours plugged into a 750 VA UPS along with a phone switch, phone voice mail and phone music on hold and the power draw of all of these is minimal.

I just read an article in Home Power Magazine that may help you get started the right way. Look up Home Power 157, October & November issue. The article is called "An Educated Move Off-Grid". A lot of people might respond to your question with questions, the big one would be What do you want to do with Solar Power? What are your needs? What is your amp load? All these are answered in this article, so you should do your best to get it asap, read it, and go from there.

Hi Martin, here the technical info: Power Consumption: Variable from 0.7- 2.5 Amps (12V DC) - Power Source: 12V/24V DC / 110V AC

Mine says 36 watts on the bottom. If you have average electric rates of $0.10 / kWh), it would 9 cents per 24 hour day or $2.60 per month to operate continuously. If your electric rates are on the low side (Midwest and Pacific NW), maybe half that. If your rates are high (New England, California, Alaska, Hawaii), than twice as much.We (in Kenai, Alaska) leave one plugged in all the time in the Winter and rotate whose shoes are on it. If we've just come back from a skiing or fishing trip, than I've two more in the garage that I plug in as needed.

54W measured on high fan speed and everything else on. Not bad, it'll cost you about 1.2kWhr per day running 24x7

The spec sheet from NETGEAR says BTU @ Full Power Supply Utilization is 31.7W (Ready NAS 102) 47W (Ready NAS 104). Power Off 1.0W/1.4W. You can check the spec here http://www.netgear.com/images/pdf/ReadyNAS_100_DS.pdf CONED price @ $0.27 per kWh , this will cost roughly $7/month. Hope this helps !! I am looking forward to buy this.

That is the issue. If you want really long endurance off the grid you need to consider inverters, charge controllers and deep cycle batteries. All these cost a bit more and occupy more space. I've used this APC unit for 3 years with my database server and it has worked flawlessly. It is big and heavy for a UPS, but it keeps up my sever for about 2 hours when new. Monitor is off and the other equipment is run from a separate UPS.

Here is what I found on the web... Clean Power &lt;7% THD. Not sure if it's @ full load or not.

Yes this is off grid, charge controller is a simple one not mppt. Wish it was. Solar panels work great have had hooked to a sun gti 500watt. I c 160 watts on avg out of these two panels. I bought this kit and two batteries so i could cover myself if grid went down. Good luck.

It is rated at 65W running entirely off of the PCIe slot. I don't know actual consumption.

There's a nice load vs. time graph on the product information page on APC's website. At this writing, the page can be found at <http://www.apc.com/products/resource/include/techspec_index.cfm?base_sku=SMT1500&total;_watts=1000>

Honestly, I have no idea. I can't imagine that it is much of a power hog, though. I guess I could measure it...
