[Elecraft] solar power

[Jozef Hand-Boniakowski]

I run my Elecraft K1 at home off of four Siemens 55 watt panels.  I use 
a 30 amp charge controller which feed six golf cart batteries that are 6 
volts each at 200 amp-hr.  I have them wired in three pairs go give 12 
vdc at 600 amp-hr.  The panels and the batteries are now 12 years old 
and still running fine.  The batteries also run a 500 watt DC to 120 VAC 
inverter.  I have some photos of the solar setup and house at 
http://www.metaphoria.us//Tiff3/index.html  My ham radio webpage is 
here: http://www.metaphoria.us/hamradio/ham_radio.htm  In my opinion, 
one of the best sources for things solar is the Mr. Solar website at:
