Are you kidding me? This winter has sure shown me how unreliable the sun can be!
There is no way I'm counting on getting every watt that 'could' come my way.

My solar deck lamp has been giving me a very good indication of how unreliable PV would have been this winter..

However, if my boiler can be cheaply PV heated enough to over come it's heat loss,
I would be a very happy camper during the summer time..
(Well, maybe if it's not a repeat of last summer. Which was way too short).


The government thinks it can be done at $2 per watt PV prices..
