    Hooking Up Solar Panels

    Brad, the guy who gave us the 15" Cerwin Vega's, and 1000 watt Carver Amp is having us pick up 4 free new in the box solar panels that he says are heavy and about 4' x 5' each. He is looking for an inverter for them.

    So I have another project to do, and I spotted a shiny black Vette @ the beer gas station Monday, and the driver asked me when will I be ready for a couple free pigs?

    IDK if I can have pigs here due to zoning

    Brad is a Desert Storm era audiophile, so they should be quality

    Bucket, let us know how this goes. I'll watch this thread

    I might be getting 8 FREE 200 watt panels and have to do the install and get inverter/battery bank.
