Phaedra,
Sorry, I wasn't meaning to pick on you. You were the only one who
offered to "enlighten" me about the use of photovoltaic cells. I had
expected someone with years of experience in the industry to quote facts
and figures, and demonstrate that solar has evolved to become more than
a fascinating techie toy, efficient enough to be worth the money. The
lack of such response indicates to me that it is not.
As I said in my last post, "If it works for you, that's all that
counts." So, I was accepting your appraisal of your system-for your
needs and desires. It's just that I find nothing compelling about the
current state of solar to make it worth investing in, IMHO. When the
efficiency goes up, and the prices come down, I'll be standing in line
for a nice panel for my van.
