Finally used all our solar

The new Great Grand Baby came home from Neo-Natal intensive care today and Joyce cooked meals for the Parents, Grand Parents and Grand Kids as well as ourselfs. She ran the convection oven for 21/2 hours straight. With what we were generating we went from 100 percent battery charge down to 66 percent battery charge. I was quite happy with that, since we don't plan on cooking meals for three families very often. We used 7 140watt panels and six golf cart batteries.

Dick,Sounds like you were using 100% of your output and stored power.. It also sounds like you have a great system that is running at 100%...

Yup, I was pretty proud of what it did. Had to be to justify what it cost. It was fun telling the kids and grandkids they didn't have to eat the greens if they didn't want to. The whole thing was cooked green
