    Smile the data report

    sorry i am late on the data reporting, we have been back for a week our basic route, los angeles, nevada, utah, nebraska, south dakota, north dakota crossed into canada, west on route 1 to kamloop BC, washington, oregon the back to los angeles.

    the solar panel powered a arb refrigerator, apple computers, cell phones, for 3 days it also powered a small PA system in a pow wow in south dakota. all of this done off grid. the panel generated enough energy to send tickle power to my starting battery. i made little effort to properly position the solar panel toward the sun, except when it was powering the PA system.

    so all in all it was great, my rig is now park on my drive way and it continues to power my refrigerator.

    thanks all for helping me put my solar system together together.
