How can I power a couple small appliances using solar power?
What would I need to power a small fan, some LED lights, ect in my home, without spending hundreds or thousands of dollers? How would I set it up? I think I would need a Solar Panel, a AC/DC converter or some kind, and a Battery?
Any Help! Thanks!

Look up solar solar power supplies, battery charger and solar charger on the Internet.Lots of good information there.
You will need to know how much current you will be drawing, the number of hours you will be using power, the rating of the power supply and the insolation ( this is spelled correctly) from insolation tables on the Internet.

One solar module large enough to power a fan would cost one hundred dollars easy.
