My Solar Array & Solar Gadgets Pics (DIAL-UP WARNING!!)

[VisualMonster]

I've posted a few times for help on random stuff and thought it's about time to post some pics (lots of them!!).  Most of the small solar gadgets I've had for a few years. The 45w panels, battery, and controller are new though.  I am not off the grid, but my electric bill is always very low, usually about $20/ month (in California).  The 45w panels are in a temporary place... our backyard will soon become a covered patio, so the panels will be moved above the patio cover.

1) Here's my overall 93.8 watt array:

2) 45w Panel, Battery, Controller, & Inverter (I'm using our old bathroom sink cabinet to shelter this):

3) 75 watt Inverter (400w inverter is put away, but I occasionally use it):

4) 75 AMP HR Battery (from Walmart):

5) Battery Close Up (specs visible):

6) 10 AMP Charge Controller (from Fry's Electronics):

7) VW 3.8w Panel (from eBay):

Second 45 watt Panel (HF of course):

9) A/C Window Cable to Computer Room:

10) A/C Window Cable in Computer Room:

11) Universal Solar Charger (from eBay):

12) Universal Solar Charger Opened:

13) Solio Charger (very cool folding charger, but too expensive!):

14) Solar Cell Charger (much cheaper than solio, but has a very small battery... I regreted buying this one since I didn't really need it):

15) Solar Hiking Watch (has built in compass, thermometer, altimeter, & borometer... I use this all the time!):

16) Solar Running Watch (60 Lap memory... stupid band broke!):

17) Wow, somebody is still reading this far down. lol...  sorry, ran out of solar gadgets to take pics of.

That's functioning toys .I know my son will just order a dumpster and a couple of loborers for a week when I croak . but I"ll haunt the place for long enough to pull a

couple out and leave them in his closet.

hi tecker, thats exactly what i told my family at a family outing last week, from the looks that were on their faces, they think i ment it. i told them it would be revenge for all the negitive comments about my used collectibles (junk is a bad word). pepa.
