ANY information helps! I'd love to set up soo many solar panels that it produces enough to sell to my neighbors and only charge enough to maintain the panels. then, to have neighbors link up with neighbors to hopefully get enough for the whole neighbor but yes, this is a utopian idea and could only work in the almost perfect situation (but one can dream) Come see us in tarpon springs on saturday! We are starting the conversion on the jetta and plans on how to restore the 1981 linx electrica. Michele, Id love to see gov't officials in EVs. other area counties are all interested in them and just are waiting for them to be available. Time to show and tell not just tell. I always hear how the vehciles will be available in 1, 2, 3 or 4 years... whats the hold up? I am hearing that the electric company will only give you credit towards future bills, not cash. Doesnt make sense if you produce your own electric and do not use the grid that you can only get a credit that you may never use. _______________________________________________ Florida EAA mailing list [email protected] http://www.floridaeaa.org
