I’m not going to answer for Alan but he’d have the same issue in Maine we have here in NY. A solar panel isn’t going to do a lot of good covered with a few inches of snow. Plus the fact that during the winter months the angle of the sun, even at astronomical noon isn’t that high or that strong (if you tilted the panel)...

Alan, on one hand you say don’t trickle charge but top off with the generator, but if you’re plugged in (as I am) and the inverter is left on, aren’t they getting a trickle charge anyway?
