solar panals

[bcnya]

not knocking anybody but with the price of solar panals coming down why would any one want to not only listen to a gen but feed it at todays fuel prices.a system could be built today for almost less then the cost of a honda 2000.heres a good place with excellent prices.<a target="_blank" href="http://www.sunelec.com/sun-solar-panel-205-watts-2790-vmp-p-1655.html">SUN Solar Panel 205 Watts 27.90 Vmp [SV-T-205 HV] - $274.70 :</a>

<P>Yeah I don't really understand a generator appeal myself. Paying $1,100 for one because it runs at 54db instead of $400 for the 66db unit seems ironic when you can pay $900 for 0db and zero gasoline.</P>

I imagine the appeal of a genset is air conditioning.&nbsp; If you live in Texas (like me) or somewhere similar.&nbsp; With temperatures that soar well into the triple digit and not much better at night. Air is almost a must during that time.&nbsp; It is great if you can travel with the weather but some can't for what ever reason.<br>

<P>Ice-maiden hit the nail on the head. The heat and humidity in the deep south makes air conditioning a necessity.&nbsp;Solar panels just won't cut it.&nbsp;</P>
