My target is not everyone's house, but places where energy is very costly or power is intermittent or non-existent. We've been supplying systems for offshore platforms. We now make residential systems in various sizes. The target is Mexico, central America and other places where the power goes out frequently or there is no power.
My systems are for "Off Grid", RVs, backup power and places with brownouts and rolling blackouts.

Red Beard could you send me a PM with more info on a solar setup for a truck camper ? I have a 1966 Avion truck camper that I will be gutting some of the interior and I'm thinking that will be the time to add solar. Any info/advice would be appreciated.
