Solar Tracker Project

I would love to have 2.5 KW of PV (don't have the room for 2500 KW)..

I've also been looking at the idea of a ground mounted array of cheaper PV
for driving plain old resistive heating coils in my heating boiler.
See: http://ecorenovator.org/forum/solar-...eat-water.html

I think a few of these Kaneka Thin Film Solar Panel 110w
big fat Heavy boys might be in my price range.
(I could get 3 shipped for less than $700 and get 90 more watts).
330 watts is about 1126 BTU.. Not too shabby. Might save me some oil.

So far, I have not been able to locate the voltage specs on these new panels..
