Solar Power! (albeit on a small scale)

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a light! And it is bright! And it lets us read at night. Hooray!

Just for the record, we got all the bits for our little solar setup from The Solar Shop (ordered online), with minimum fuss and bother.

For the energy-techies out there, you'll be pleased to know that our solar panel is of the amorphous type... lowest possible embodied energy panel on the market. And I think the whole setup cost us around the $350 AU mark... not bad for 15 years worth of light, no? How exciting to be able to read AND cook in the one space simultaneously....

Hey well done! - do you mind if Nik and I run a cable from your batteries to our place??

How much did it cost and from where did you buy it?

We'll catch up soon for one of my curries - we've been real busy lately and haven't had much time for Campbells Creek.

See ya,
Stuart
