[A/S] Re: Solar Panel Suggestions?



  Hi, I have a 100watt Seimans panel. I boondock a lot. A 100 watt 
panel will make you independant unless you watch as many movies as I 
do. My panel came with an unconditional 25 year garauntee. I did not 
mount mine to the roof as most do. I made an alum tiltable frame that 
I can strap to the back of the truck or set on the ground. This 
allows me to keep it aimed just rite all day long and also allows me 
to share it with my friend. I cannot operate a micro wave or air 
conditioner, but you would be amazed at how much air a computor 
cooling fan will move. If you want to operate more than the bare 
needs, you will need many panels, a high priced invertor, lots of 
batterys, lots of wiring and a place to haul it all. The best place I 
think to buy is from Northern Arizona Wind and Sun. They have a nice 
web site.   Good luck Arnie
