[@HickSquatch]

I enjoy watching Alan work. I grew up in northwest Montana with ranchers and loggers; he reminds me of those men: get what needs to be done with what you have on hand: just make it happen. Diesel Dave personifies the ethic I learned from them too. These guys, Hunter and the rest of the team make a dynamic crew…about the only men who can keep up with Heavy D and his drive. “Heavy” D: Driven Dave the Dreamer and Dynamic-Leader (I couldn’t come up with an appropriate D word for a strong leader without negative connotation like Dominion or such, because from what I see and people who I know who know him, he is not that way. A fellow Utah resident, we cross paths occasionally. My favorite story is my daughter was working in a Maverick gas station and the Sparks crew stopped for fuel; coming from a big recovery job, a couple guys tracked dirt in the store and Dave got a broom and cleaned it up. ❤

With enough panels, sure. How much "enough" is will depend heavilly on how much sun the area gets and whether you need to keep the system running overnight.

[@AdventureMachines]

@@nathandean1687 I should have been more specific; LiFePo. The nickel iron (NiFe) is a viable solution for a fixed installation, much less so as a mobile power storage solution. Also, the internal resistance makes the NiFe ~65% efficient when charging, wasting ~35% to heat. When charging with solar and looking for low weight and high efficiency this is a hard pill to swallow.
