That is my biggest concern. My farm is on the Potomac River and faces south. The roof where I would put the panels would be the first structure the wind hits off the river! Still worth looking at. TD has been very helpful.

My plan is to spec the tank for two weeks at full usage, fill the tank once a month, etc.
If I go this route I plan on giving the old Coleman away and keep my other two generators...as I mentioned to TD in a PM, there is nothing better than a "layered" defense.
