Okay -- I found the old solar thread. Verdict is that solar is impractical because it doesn't cost out. Maintenance is also an issue.

If solar IS working for you, please chime in.


I am off grid by choice in HPP and it works great for me.
However I do not live a typical American/"first world" super-high-energy-consumption lifestyle. My electrical power needs are very small compared to the usual and so my system can be small, simple and affordable.

Maintenance consists of checking and topping off my battery water. I do this the first of every month, as a routine, like dusting cobwebs or checking the oil in my car or any other minor maintenance task. 10-15 min. max. once a month.

aloha,
John S.
