Re: [RC] Solar generators are silent! - Sisu West Ranch
They certainly are one good silent way to keep
batteries charged. I have gone another route.
I installed 3 group 27 deep cycle batteries.
I replaced all of the cheap incandescent lights in the LQ with fluorescent or
LED lights. LED conversion lights (just the lights, you do not have to
replace the fixtures) are available on the web. I properly maintain the
batteries. (charge on the road, and keep a battery maintainer, which is a
very special battery charger, attached at home).
With this setup I can run lights for a week and a
furnace for 3 cold MN days. For those times when I need more power I have
a Honda 2000E. They are spendy, but very quiet. If I run it DURING
THE DAY I believe nobody is bothered. I normally use it to run the
microwave, and a hair dryer. The hair dryer is mostly used to dry feet for
the installation of pour-in pads. Even on a fall 5 day ride, it is run a
max of one hour a day and only DURING THE DAY.
