| Wind / Solar
After criticising solar for years, high initial cost and low power output in real conditions. I want to reassess the position. I do use a lot of power 100amps a day and I am not prepared to use less. I like ice in my drinks and a medium size freezer for a choice of food. I have a 2kva Kipor generator which currently puts out 40 amps/hour and will soon be upgraded to 80 amps and hour. Charging an 600amp/hr AGM battery bank I realised solar is coming down in price and it very much depends on your cruising grounds. (tropical for me) AirX wind generators seems popular? Any comments? Just by the way I did have a small problem with my Kipor, however the Australian agent fixed it in one day, under warranty. Excellent service. Which these days is to be recommended. |
