What form was the fundraising? Perhaps we can contact the donors and ask
if they're okay with us changing to renewables .... if it is not possible
to contact them, then I would assume they're okay with it, as any
reasonable person supporting our cause would probably be.
We may have some solar panel donations, I hear, and if we buy them, they
are around $3 per watt in these quantities ... then we can buy a couple
more charge controllers to squeeze the max power from the panels and
protect the batteries, and I think we can install 250 to 400 Watts of solar
power for this price -- that is probably only 6 hours per day of good
sunlight in our financial canyon, but that is a lot and can light our camp
at night with 12 Volt LED lighting!
