Hi Tech,

Cute! When is the next installment?

They could save some amp hours with a smaller inverter that has less "overhead", say 20?

I also don't understand why internet costs them 2.5 amps per hour. My Cradlepoint router draws about 4 watts when it is running.

I'm sure interested in how they will make up the shortfall in energy production. One possible way would be to use some sort of reflective material to "bounce" more sunlight onto the panels.

Regards, Don
