Preparations for the Solar Panels

Our original plan was to add solar panels sometime in the future, but my husband was concerned that we might not have enough electricity for the winter with just the wind generator, so we decided to purchase some solar panels in the fall of 2006. Looking back at my 2006 calender, we only ran the gas generator two times in 2006 to fill the batteries. Once in October and once in December. Anyway, we ordered 8 solar panels from Sunfind Solar Products, but ended up with 10 panels because there was a deal on a model that was going out of production. The picture to the right shows the wooden and aluminum frame my husband built to hold the 10 solar panels.
