Re: [VAL] Solar panels in NYC

[Dillonvdill@xxxxxxx]

FYI,
I decided not to install my solar panels on my roof.  For those of you who 
remember the debate on having a white painted roof or polished aluminum,  I 
think the consensus was that if there are trees it is hellpful to park in the 
shade.  The other thing is that the last time I boon docked in AZ I followed the 
others who said I could get almost twice the daily wattage by having my panels 
mounted on a angled stand and move the rack a few times from east to west on 
the ground through out the day.  I found that to be true.  So I have a 50'  
cord from my panels to the battery rack where I can keep it out of the shade and 
follow the sun.

The only time I really need the panels is when I set up camp,  because when 
I'm on the road the tow vehicle is charging the batteries.  It may be a little 
less convenient but I saved half the money on the amount of panels I needed 
and can be more flexible with site location.
