From Upstate NY

Hey all. I live in the Fingerlakes Region of Upstate NY. I make my own Solar Panels and have accrued about 9 - 60W Panels so far. I believe I have a nice model to stick with after trying different frames and designs, etc. I love the idea of sustained living. I have been an HVAC&R Journeyman for over 21 years now and am always thinking of ways to create new heaters/coolers. I will be posting pics of some of these things on here. I am really excited to find like-minded folks on here

Welcome to the site and thanks for posting an intro. Is always nice to know a bit about the people here.

DIY solar panels, very nice. Would you be willing to write up a DIY for us? Its always nice to hear from someone who has done a bunch and has a nice set way of doing things for a reason vs someone stumbling through it for the first time.

I have been wanting to document a step-by-step for a while - now I have a good reason to
