Just curious as to what your setups were like. Solar, wind, hydro? What kind of batteries and where you got them. Or if anyone could point me to some good sites that would be great.

 

Try searching for "alternative energy+solar" or something along those lines. Ive found oodles of info on such things in the past, I always got the impression the best ,although not cheapest, way to go is solar panels with a large battery bank .
