Why so much? I'm guessing that you already did the math.
Do you do a lot of wilderness camp^H^H^H^Hmobile living?
Or do you just use a lot of electricity at night?

I only use enough for lights to find my way to the crapper 4-5 times a
night (oh the joys of BPH).

Condolences.


SWMBO's (aka the OverLord) electrical
footprint is somewhat larger.

Bigscreen + blow dryer?


240W is enough to fully recharge the 2 6V golf cart batteries after an
evening/morning of 12V lighting and 120V inverter usage - that is if the
sun shines.

Aha, you get up real early, too?


There's always the Honda 2000W generator in emergencies and
to annoy any neighbors.

An EU model, or some really -loud- beeyatch?
