What would a 60 watt solar panel power? How many watts for a small home?

What would be helpful is some chart or diagram that would put this in perspective for me. I thought it would be neat to save up for solar panels for my home and take the load off my bill. Also, it would be nice to have something portable. But, when they say 60 watts can I run a tv and lights or just charge some batteries?

120 watt solar panel to home ac?

Ok i just ordered a 120 watt solar panel 12v. I want a lead that will run a fan and pump straight from the panel no way connected to batteries. I also want a line leading to charge deep cycle batteries which i will store electricity for later use. I understand that solar panels need charge controller to the battery and from battery an inverter. But whats required if i want to run the fan and pump without draining the batteries as they charge?
Will a charge contoller have these features? Please explain the functions if you post a link to an item
Sorry, when i said ac i meant ac current or a multiplug adapter. Not air condition unit. Although what im doing is sorta like that, water pump to radiator and fan to blow cooler air.

Where can I buy a portable solar panels for my home in the Philippines?

With the power crisis looming in, I think it’s better to have a solar panel than buy a portable generator which eats up petrol. Philippines must have the costliest fuel per liter in Asia. Problem is, solar panels can’t be bought as easily as generators.

Do sealed lead acid batteries require ventilation when used in a home?

I plan on wiring together eight 12V 35Ah Helios Sealed Lead Acid golf cart batteries (model FB 12-35) in series and parallel to give me a 24V battery bank. The bank will be used with a 24V inverter to give me 110VAC and will be used for backups as well as small loads like a wireless router. It will be charged with a solar panel.

If I setup the batteries in my basement, would I need to ventilate them? I’ve read that sealed lead acid batteries do not vent any gas but I want to be sure about it.

Here is a page showing the type of battery I purchased:

Does anyone here know if this battery has liquid inside, or uses AGM?
I’ve been reading a book called “The Renewable Energy Handbook: A Guide to Rural Energy Independence” by William Kemp. In this book it says that all types of batteries whether they are liquid, AGM, gel, sealed or unsealed ***MUST*** be ventilated. They all produce some amount of hydrogen gas, the sealed batteries generating less than the unsealed but they all generate some. The answers below were very helpful but seem to be incorrect in this regard. I also got a second opinion from someone who has worked on solar installations who has backed up what the book says. For those of you who are asking the same question: Please do further research before installing batteries in your home. You do not want to burn your home down or put your family at risk of injury simply because you failed to vent your batteries outside.
