Subject: Fw: MPPT controller for daylight
savings time [RE-wrenches]
A local farmer with a solar
electric system wants me to look into a controller for taking advantage of
daylight savings time. He wants to take advantage of getting that extra hour
each day of sunlight.
He wrote his congressman to try to end it because they're
having a draught and the extra hour is killing his cornfield. I signed his
petition but he "doesn't expect to get help from those damn idiots who run the
country in Washington."
Maybe Bob-O can get John Wiles to research this daylight
savings time controller - of course it won't work in New Mexico because Steve
Baer informs me they don't have daylight savings time there.
At Dankoff Solar seminar recently in New Mexico - California
dealer told me he oculd get voltage but no amperage on nights of full moon. I
know what you're thinking, another technology breakthrough for solar
controllers. Let's get a huge government grant to study these
possibilities!?
