Solar Panels
I agree Jack I did a cost comparison on a large panel display with
the controllers and wiring and would have to use it for many many
years before I would have even broke even. I installed the Heart
2500 with the link 1000 to quickly replace the power removed from the
batteries from late afternoon thru the night. Start the generator up
when I get up in the morning and let it run for an hour after
breakfast. You can buy an awful lot of diesel fuel for what it costs
to buy solar panels. And the best thing is that you have to exercise
the generator weekly anyway so why not do it when its productive?
