So I found this forum on Facebook from the suggestions that pop up there. I joined your facebook group and it directed me here. Last year I watched a video on YouTube that a guy in SoCal had up, showing these battery packs connected to solar power and I feel in love with the idea. I have done nothing with it yet, but I take this auspicious meeting with your forum as a sign to start learning all I can before buying a home here... thank you guys for doing this... IT'S GREAT !!!
