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?
Hi Joe

Yes boondocking in Quartzsite I should not need to run the generator at all. If the batteries are totally empty I shouldn't have to run the generator for more than a couple of hours.

I really haven't seen any good feedback out there for using windmills for power production in our typical scenario's.
