This group is a ghost town these days, I use to enjoy it a lot, what a shame, I guess we covered it all
I have been researching solar for quite awhile and finally jumped in. We found some used solar panels for sale on Craigslist and drove a couple of ours to pick them up. We decided to start small to learn all about it. I am a ham radio operator with a UHF repeater system up on our hill so I thought it would be perfect to use solar to power the system. We bought 4 100 watt panels. I used 3 of them for the repeater with a Xantrrex 30 amp controller and a couple of 6 volts golf cart batteries. It works like a charm. Now thinking about adding some more batteries for longer storage and having the system power the garage. It really isn't as intimidating as it starting out being. Glad we are moving in this direction. It's been exciting to see what we can do.
