I was going to have solar installed on a 5th wheel trailer a half dozen years ago. Back when I thought I was going to be able to retire. Things changed. . .still working. I've 4 BP-585 panels, Trace DM2412 inverter & Trace something or other controller. Thinking now since they're just sitting in my garage, I may have them installed on my Townhouse. I'm probably too old to consider putting much more into a system, but if I could utilize what I've already acquired to eliminate some grid power usage it might be worth my while. Don't know for sure if these 4 panels mounted flat on my garage in Denver, CO suburb would be able to generate enough to replenish 4 Trojan T-105's to run a 42in LCD HDTV and Digital Sat box or not. Wifey and I will both be working different shifts for another 10 years. Means TV runs maybe 16 hours a day. I'm thinking it should be worth my while to plug these panels in. Personally, I can't understand why this country hasn't been using solar on track homes for the past 50 years. But the older I get the more I find out there's alot I don't understand.
