Power inverter vs. portable generator?

Admittedly, it is 30 degrees Celsius right now where I am typing this, but that's not what we usually get. And with this steaming tropical weather, hot water is not high on our priority list :-) 30C is "steaming tropical weather"? We've hit 45C already, and summer is just starting! Probably won't hit 50C this year (although we have a few times). Enjoy the lovely winter you're having :=) As for solar heating, I don't know what the suns' intensity is at your latitude (when you see the sun, that is), but in the summer here (34° latitude) it can be as high as 375 BTU/ft^2/hr (10WattHr/M^2/hr) with the absorbing surface normal to the sunlight. So there's energy to be had. Keith Hughes (reclining in sunny Arizona) |
