[Elecraft] OT - Solar panel output

We have an RV with 12A of solar panels on the roof.
They charge a bank of 4 golf cart batteries with a total
capacity of  440 AH

It's surprising the amount of energy they will deliver,
even on a rainy day.  Nothing near the 12A, but still
several amps.

We have the experience to back this up ... 5 years
of six (winter) months each on the Oregon coast. (:-))

Didn't want the idea that solar panels are useless in
the rain or a on a cloudy day to get started.
