Fill in us interested types! Been kicking around the idea too, but need some way to start small and build on it.

I have been using solar at remote wireless links and for engineering remote instrumentation sites for years. When I moved to the country place, and realized that I didn't need air conditioning, I engineered and installed my own system. I'm heavy on storage, and adequate on collectors.

I'll be adding a wind generator (free, all I have to do is remove it) to the system this fall for winter use.

I'm also building my own house, and it is VERY energy efficient. I don't have lots of big appliances, and NO TV.

If you decide to play with it, use Trace or Outback equipment. They are bulletproof and generally have an upgrade path.
