07-02-09: new solar panel and panel mounts


new panel and solar mount arrived yesterday. I'll hook up the panel over the weekend, and try out the mount as well. If the mount works out as planned, I'll get more for the remaining panels. Running 120watts of power now @ approx 8amps of 12vDC.

Next to arrive is the 12vDC power distribution equipment.

06-21-09: 12V retooling


solar upgrades and refining the 12v instrument selection. 100% 12v system is the goal. The only Item I can foresee as an exception will be the monitoring system. The powered monitors will more than likely have their own solar array with a dedicated pure sine way inverter. At least this way, they will be on their own dedicated system running slightly less efficiently than the pure 12v system. At least everything will remain off the grid on powered by solar.

reduction..reduce..clutter....let the silt settle before taking action....

06-06-09: Solar Array Upgrade

05-03-09: Free Solar Download


From Solar Array


1st work created entirely with solar power. A very very simplistic raw minimal work. My 1st experiment, to see how much power is required for 1 pen computer. More works coming as I continue experimenting.
