      RW> TW> Slipped my mind that you were in Texas. With a good wind pattern you       RW> TW> coual get along quite well. As a side note I calcualtedthe batteery       RW> TW> drin for that 220v/2.4amps and it comes to a 40 Amp draw on a 12 volt       RW> TW> Battery.              RW>Actually, I was thinking in terms of 10-12ea 12v batteries in series,       RW>which makes up 120vdc. Then a 2nd bank making up the other 120vdc and       RW>converting each to AC, providing 220vac.              Now you are talking BIG Bucks. That would take 20 to 24 45 Watt solar       panels at about $200 Each for a quality panel. IF you hurry you c       uld pick up 20 to 24 of those $149 Harbor Freight kits and throw       away everything except the panels and save a few bucks.              And you may need to custom build your inverters as 48 Volt converters       are the highest voltage I could locate.              ---        þ SLMR 2.1a þ 0        * Origin: Fidonet Since 1991 And Still Here.
