Thank you, Dave. I still have to carry this stuff on the plane, so, have only peeked into the roll. Might just be the edges are thin ??
Oztules, you are probably correct about more panels. I don't have sufficient funds to make more, unless my wood business picks up. I can build the tracker frame and all from wood. It's damn hard and doesn't move from weather.
Where I live, I get the sun about 6 minutes after it clears the Horizon, and, it goes over the house at near straight up, maybe a few degrees off. I have clear access until it drops almost to the Horizon, again. Mind you, we live in a rainy country, so, I'm thinking a tracker is much cheaper. I can channel money into the Hydro system, and, into the wind system. A wooden tower will be me fine, IF I can get it stood up.
It's not rained much this season, which started around April 20, traditionally. Once I get the panels built and in position, I expect heavy rain every day, for at least 6 months.
I have a diaphragm compressor for airbrushing. I'm going to see about trying that today, maybe. Should be the same type as yours, but, a much better piece of equipment. I'm having trouble finding a vacuum gauge for inexpensive, and a vacuum valve. I'm going to get a SS Ball valve with Teflon seat. Being as I'm only planning on, probably, 6 panels total, I need to spend money very wisely.
Once the USA goes into the toilet, my income SS will be non-existent, so, planning to conserve as much as possible and work with people in the area, so they can reduce the E-bill. We pay 24 cents per KWH in a country with Hydro and a little wind turbine array.
