you can use a DC buck converter to charge your laptop direct from DC there cheap on Ebay I run a 32" TV at 18V dc off a 12V bank works great.

going to get two 300w 12v poly panels wired in series, which will give me 600w at 24v/25a and can run it with a 30a mppt charge controller running to a 12v 270ah battery for my first system that I am going to be setting up to run the temporary inbuilt cabin on one side of my 20x20ft standalone garage on the block of land I purchased in Tasmania until I can afford to build a house.
pretty much just for a pump, lighting and running a PC + modem, small fridge and hopefully a washing machine on sunny days if I turn everything else off.
eventually I plan on quadrupling the system and running all of the above pretty much at will and also a dryer and television.
going to be running an eccotemp for the shower and a butane stove for cooking.
I will seek out that rangehood, its exactly what I was looking for -
Excellent thank you

I don' have a homestead but I live in the suburb where I can have my shed, a rain barrel, vegetable garden, etc. If you go further out where they build those fancy houses, you can't even have a swing set for kids because of city ordinance. I would never want to live there.
And I made a small solar panel system and currently I'm powering up my 12V landscape lights around my house. I can't wait till the grid goes down in my neighborhood. I would expect neighbors knocking on my door with a question like...what the hell. :)lol -
