Hi Folks,

A story that might be of interest.

I recently designed a solar system for a chicken hatchery on the remote 
Solomon Islands.

It was on the Southern most Rennel Island.

I used 4 x Unisolar US64's and a Steca inverter/regulator.

Now a cyclone hit and the Islanders took shelter in caves, some 
sheltered in the building housing the incubator.

The winds, 100mph+,  lifted the panels which were seen cart wheeling 
down the road for some distance.

After the storm had passed, the panels were found and remounted, wired 
in again and the system functions as before.

Now there is a robust product...

Cheers,
