    Explain what uve built in another way. Based on early results, in your opinion, once u get way down south and head out into the wide open spaces of a spot like Quartzsite. Im assuming spring and fall were bigger constant HVAC loads aren't nessessary im thinking u could go indefinatly without supplementing the panels for power.? Yes?

    Next question. If heat is needed at night or AC during the day in your estimation how many hours a day do u think u could support an air conditioner or heater and still not need to supplement the panels on the average mostly sunny day? 2 or 3 hr or will it be more or less?

    I know when I'm in the infield at the race track living off inverter I need about 4 hr of gen time when I'm not needing HVAC and I go 2 in the morn and 2 in the evening resulting in about 10bucks a day in fuel. Not counting the inverters or batts or hardware that we all already have but just the panels and charging controllers how much did u put into just those items?

    Possibly a ridiculous question. In intense boondocking circles do u know if there r portable wind generators out there that have any value?
