Sounds good to me, just as long as you don't try to reload in the dark.

I've been wasting electricity all winter at the Camper. Too bad you cant can it up for use when you need it. I made a mistake by not mounting my Solar Panels on a trailer that I could pull to town and hook into my grid at the house or office.

Who me? Not yet, but I might be if I spend all my time in the basement!

The lake house has this "power saver" thing that cuts off the a/c peak hours if your meter spins too fast. It big brothers me, the house gets hot and saves me a whopping $3.16 cents a month, big deal. My last bill was $113. and the power was only on 10 days. At those rates the $3.16 ain't going to break me and I want control of my a/c! Next time up there I'm going to have them take it out.
