| * [[http://amzn.to/2ztSSoO|200W kit]] + a 100Ah [[electrical:12v:deep_cycle_battery#chain_store_batteries|wally world learner battery]] is about $450 at late 2017 prices. This is about $1.75 per solar watt produced((actually going out of the controller into the battery)) and would cost **~$750 over 5 years**, including expected battery replacement. | * [[http://amzn.to/2ztSSoO|200W kit]] + a 100Ah [[electrical:12v:deep_cycle_battery#chain_store_batteries|wally world learner battery]] is about $450 at late 2017 prices.
