O/T Homebuilt Gen bit the dust Pic's added

All good pts, our cabin stays in the shade 80% of the day. So 90 min of sun on 477 watts would be really tuff. Diesel gen. cost fer next 4 yrs isn't in the $914 SS budget we have. Only time we don't get 5 hrs per 3/4 gal tank in durin summer havin to run the AC. We get 3 hrs per tank. North side is where our addition of cabin will go in Aug. gettin a 12x24 brought in & set to give us a 10 x16 breezway. Best thing i can do is keep addin panels n batterys. Bein poor is the pits & livin where power is a Co-op was a big mistake after Realtor said we could get power. We can't as our cabin's don't qualify as perminant home. We have been here 4 yrs come Sept. of ownin this fine Mo. rock pile

Yup its a Honda 6.5 HP & i am going to put another 5.45" pulley on it & run my 2 alt. Then i will be able to push 150 amps towards battery bank while ACis runnin. When live gives you a Lemon jus make lemonade. If'en i had the funds i would move back to Humbolt county Calif. along the coast where its best Temps i ever lived in. Before my Pa came home to Ms. in 65 after retiring from Navy i never saw a fan nor knew what an AC was. Lived 4 miles inland from Trinidad Ca. Beautiful area. Maybe i should find a decent TT at reasonble cost & stay out there from late June til Sept. no hot weather, sounds like a plan to me
