Part of the ruling today was that the City wants the power to the camp shut down.<div><br></div><div>Can we quickly rise to the occasion and set up a few more solar panels?</div><div><br></div><div>We have two weeks. Do we have any panels waiting in the wings?</div>
<div><br></div><div>If not, we can order one or two from Home Depot. For example:</div><div><a href="http://www.homedepot.com/Grape-Solar/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ8p9/R-202959976/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053">http://www.homedepot.com/Grape-Solar/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ8p9/R-202959976/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>Two of these === a nice 200 Watts.</div><div><br></div><div>And we order a charge controller from Amazon.com... another $100. Voila -- $750 for a 200 Watt solar charging system. One or two more good deep cycle batteries .... At $1,000 we get a great system.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I do have a 1000 Watt inverter if we need it. Or we could use a smaller inverter. We could power the media tent with this, and several lighting strips.</div><div><br></div><div>We also have 2 weeks to work on solar ovens and solar thermal heating solutions for sleeping tents.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think we will get the barracks style tents within a week. If we make a really great top-notch camp, for sleeping in a group situation, for the purpose of protesting, and really lift up the whole quality and image of the camp, then perhaps we will get to keep the camp through the Winter.</div>
