- 55
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience in running a dehumdifier with solar power through the summer months? Our building sits on a large crawl space and in order to keep the RH at a reasonable 50 or 55 I need to run the dehumidifier 24X7 - this of course is not a huge power sucker but at 7amps and a pretty basic draw (i think) I was thinking it might be a good foray into the world of solar power.
I don't really know much about solar power but have been doing some reading and watching some youtube vids. I think I have a basic understanding of what might be needed but was hoping to get a better understanding of how practical this might be and whether it's worth entertaining???
Any thoughts appreciated.
