Last year we invested in a 400 watt set of solar panels, controller and 4 new glass matt batteries with 440amps storage capacity on our MH. We spent months off the grid in Arizona last winter and are SO happy with the results.

I am NOT able to do installs myself so used AM Solar in Springfield, Oregon after much advice from Pianotuna and others here on this forum. Between the paid for excellent help at AM Solar and free advice and education here, we got an amazing system. THANKS to all who helped educate me and for assisting in getting a super system.

Outstanding! Pianotuna (and others on this forum) were a great help to me, as well! What inverter did you install? Any photos?

Congrats! There isn't a sound in all the universe as sweet, as the the sound of a solar panel doing it's business.
