Is there any reason you can't mount the panels close to the ground? In Nevada, this is common practice. Can you setup a small windmill? Home Depot has these ( as do many other suppliers) http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5/R-100658295/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=

Yeah, We don't have the higher capacity yet. For instance our largest panel is 30W right now and our largest controller is 5A. You could use 3 30W panels and 2 5A controllers but I wouldn't suggest that because it's too costly. Next year will be a different story :-) Regards, Scott -Original

H. Note to self. Build good mounts, but make them so that they collapse in high winds instead of breaking. Thanks for the tip Bill! marlon - Original Message - From: "Bill Prince" To: "Principal WISPA Member List" Cc: "'WISPA General List'" ; Sent: Tuesday, August 25, 2009 8:2
