Narrative: I have had 200W of solar panels on my homestead for a couple years. They don’t generate enough consistent power to do much energy saving efforts. With my efforts to build a solar charger for my mom’s golf cart I have gained appreciation for having solar panels that face East and West. It is a reality at this point that these solar panels will not produce the same KWH/Day as the South facing panels. But they do give me a plus-up in power early morning and late afternoon when the chimney casts a shadow on the south facing panels.

End of the sunny day about 5:40, the shadow of the trees is visible.

Forfeiting some total power these East/West panels has given me more consistent power throughout the day. They also do a good job when it’s overcast with about 60W on a cloudy day. (Much more than I thought.)

Feelings: I am against changing legendary brand named products because they offend someone. We are a nation, it feels dangerous to yield to complaints of the protesting masses that have taken over this country in the name of racism.

Tomorrow: Monday, most of the work on my mother’s solar golf cart is in the mail.
