Then put a couple hundred pounds of battery in the interior<BR>&gt;&gt; storage spaces, and do the solar panel shuffle every day to try to make<BR>&gt;&gt; the best of things? Kinda makes one long for a 3 way fridge again. &lt;&lt;<BR><BR><BR>Pretty close! ;) Actually, I have 2 panels on the roof for a total of 155<BR>watts. The 100 panel tilts but the other does not. I no longer do the<BR>thing where I take one off and chase the sun. I have enough power that I<BR>can go indefinitely with good weather and keep the fridge (and the wife who<BR>has a fridge full of organic food) happy. It's very low maintenance at<BR>this point.<BR><BR>On a side note, I have a windmill too which is pretty much a toy but when we<BR>were at Assateaque this past spring both panels were getting full sun and<BR>the windmill was screaming away and there was so much juice I could have<BR>powered the entire campground for the weekend.<BR><BR>Bryan<BR></DIV></div>
