Really!?

Don’t buy your PV’s at Harbor Freight.

I should have included an example:

The one pictured is from the "evil" existing Keystone oil pipeline by Transcanada, Pump Station 38 in Stanton, Nebraska.

That’s a pump station, but I suspect it is not in the US from some details in the construction along with the motor frames. I could be wrong...

Even liberal California still allows hunting of Greater Sage Grouse, but it is rather limited permits.

Looks very compact and non-threatening to grouse.

Grouse hunt:

[liberalh8ter]

Not to mention all the trash the invaders leave behind has some impact on the sage grouse. I guess invading wildlife trumps the grouse because the grouse can't vote.

[thackney]

To be fair, that is the pumping portion of a larger station infrastructure.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Maybe we should supply illegals with trash bags (environmentally biodegradable of course) and have them pick up trash on their way through.

The bird in question:

...and if it scattered across 10 western states, how in the world can it be disappearing? Answer: It isn’t!

The sage grouse population is inversely proportional to the coyote population. When fed.gov slacked off on the coyote eradication programs the grouse were, along with women, children, and minorities, the hardest hit.

If you've ever run across one of the blm type, sent out to study the grouse, well, they're a different kind of bird. Their description of grouse behavior, you would think they were describing a mystical or religious conversion experience.

The only people who will see any benefit from grouse population increases are the windshield replacement shops. Back to replacing a windshield from grouse encounters each year.

Thank you for your on-the-ground report!

Actually I was specifically interested in your installation. I have books, links, and suppliers, but each install varies with location, and amount of off grid desired. Yours would be somewhat unique as you are completely off grid but you might still be limited in usage and you might be all DC or you might be using inverters and what is your backup position? All of that is of interest to those who watch the development of solar as the prices continue to improve.
