[Energy] solar solution to power problem

Matthew,

I think that the price of that system is very high compared to the power
produced -- that system is around $20 per Watt, whereas panels are now
around $3 per Watt and with controllers and batteries we can do about $5
per Watt.  We have enough brainpower to knit together a solution from
panels, charge controllers, and batteries, and get more done with less
money.  Hope this isn't too harsh but I'm just saying it like I see it ...
I think they are charging a premium for putting the system together, but we
can make our own lighting from LEDs and run 12V lines around.
