gholt	Posted - 26/04/2008 : 07:55:47 Hello windies, The system I'm planning/building is to be an off-grid system of solar and wind with a backup generator. Being electrically and electronically challenged, this has been a real learning experience - and not a cheap one at that. The components can be expensive not to mention the cost of the learning curve (no one makes mistakes do they?). I thought I would share these articles from other builders ...

ghurd	Posted - 27/04/2008 : 17:40:40 Major mistake with those batteries. 6V golf cart would have been cheaper, higher capacity, and last a lot longer. His panels are too close to the roof. Not enough circulation. They'll get hot reducing the output, and maybe the life. Then the whole Air-x thing. But looks like a well done system. Nice attention to details. G-
