    Nice setup, Chuck. It will likely serve you well. Btw, my neighbor has a LION solar power home system. He really likes it and pays no electricity bill. 💸 Adding up your load and sizing your system is good stuff.. I always double the amount I think I need. Once you begin to generate your own power, you will find more stuff to plug into the fountain of electrons. 😂 12 volts x 3 amps = 36 watts Voltage x Amperage = Watts Just in case.. 😊 Good work, sir Peace Prospector Tripp

    Very interesting video and supposedly (hard to find a straight answer) they sometimes mix beryllium with the ceramic insulators and they are the pink ones.
