This is EXACTLY what I've been hoping to find! And it's open source, even.

Is the Joule Ringer a way to just use DC? I'm confused that he just used an AC bulb on it...

Research "Joule Thief " aka Joule Ringer.

It can run LED bulbs, CFL bulbs and some low voltage incandescent bulbs.

Open source is the only way to go... ;)

This is a really cool thing, I think. They are not cheap at $400 (or $499 from the builder in Tennessee) but they would be worth it.

The Model 300 listed here: SolNbox Products would probably work with your own panels.

Here's an excellent video on the Joule Ringer:

It produces an AC power from a DC source with very high efficiency.

I wonder if it could be used as an AC motor controller?
