Electrifying

The summer is HOT but our solar & battery electrical backup system is ready for any amount of heat that Mother Nature (or global warming) send our way.  There are a total of four deep-discharge batteries kept ready-to-go by a 230 watt solar panel.  Not a fancy setup integrated in with the whole house power system; just a "spot power" approach where I can take a battery to where it is needed (fridge, lights, TV), hook them to a portable inverter to get 115 volts AC, and run them for hours wihtout all the noise, fueling, and exhaust problems of a generator.
