If you would like to talk about it please email me at <a href="mailto:jamesh@belco.bc.ca">jamesh@belco.bc.ca</a>. You can also see pictures of our site on our facebook page, just search for Central Coast Communications Society. I would be more than happy to help as I have struggled with this site for the past 2 years and finally have got it to work through a winter.</p> <p>James Hindley<br /> Central Coast Communications Society<br /> <a href="http://www.belco.bc.ca" rel="nofollow">http://www.belco.bc.ca</a> </p> http://www.tranzeo.com/sandbox/trunk/topic/solar#post-15 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 12:24:57 +0000 Tranzeo 15@http://www.tranzeo.com/sandbox/trunk/ <p>We reached out to a couple of suppliers.

Snow sticking to panels is a problem, January has little sun so make battery bank size to run system a least 6 weeks.</p> <p>bob frawley </p>
