Why not a coal powered backup generator? -Original Message- From: Sean Heskett via Af Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 9:09 PM To: af@afmug.com ; memb...@wispa.org Subject: [AFMUG] Our latest off grid "tower" site We are still finishing this tower but thought I'd share the progress with y'all.

Re: [AFMUG] Our latest off grid "tower" site
How big are those panels? I'm guessing ~~ 300 watts each? So ~~ 1800 watts total? What are you using for the solar controller? bp On 9/17/2014 8:08 PM, Sean Heskett via Af wrote: We are still finishing this tower but thought I'd share the progress with y'all.
