Ideas for the "perfect" system

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#One more thought,be carefule installing your own system. Shaded cells become resistors and heat quickly and can cause fires if not properly set up. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Also fabricating your own panel in the long run will cost you more unless you know how to properly seal the cells. We used special materials for this and a large laminator that applied a vaccuum, heat and pressure to ensure a tight seal. Without tightly sealing the cells the environent will eventually destroy the efficiency of the panel and it will stop generating electricity.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Regards,#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

I have the same problem as dakar.......snow
