for those of you that care to be updated.
the 600W wind turbine and 320W solar panels have provided more
than enough energy for a single human use. i have not solved the
shower problem, but my 12Vdc fridge never drops my battery
array voltage lower than 12.7Vdc. coming home from work, i
play a game or watch a movie or two and go to bed. by the time
i get back home again from work, its like i never used any of that
collected energy at all.
every night i come home to my 'boxes' and i realize i am the king
of this domain. every improvement is for my benefit and is a
reward unto itself; the work. some nights on the weekend i just
rest on top of my box and stare up at the night sky and feel the
amazing desert wind. i just exist.
