I saw this the other day on another site. How true. Solar is possible by reducing expectations and being frugal. I have a 50 watt panel recharging a 100 amp hour deep cycle battery and this provides me with enough power for a weekend for lighting at night, tv and dvd player and power for a pump to a kitchen sink or garden hose. It won't run a dishwasher or a clothesdryer or airconditioning but how essential are those things I ask? As I am too far from the mains I will be expanding my solar and including a bit of wind to supply all my power needs when I build the new accomodation at gullygunyah.
