Either of you seen any sunshine lately? Give me some hope. My skin is turning moldy. Did you say you were installing a solar system of power? Did that salesman recently lose his job selling ice to Inuits? <g> I'd be interested in hearing what type of system you are getting? Are the cells expensive? I assume they charge a row of batteries whose power gets converted to 220/110 volt AC from DC. I'm also curious how it back feeds to the grid. Will your electric meter spin backwards when you are feeding the grid? Or is there a special meter that gets installed? I've been way too busy lately and can't keep up with your cool thread. Please make sure to post highlights here as I don't find time to read anywhere else. I remember reading a while back about a company who was making roofing shingles that were solar cells. Sounds like a cool ap. Must be very high priced otherwise I'm sure we would have seen more about them... -SunnyBoy
