[AT] LED lights

[charlie hill]

Gary, that is impossible unless they are just running a dedicated light or 
device in daylight hours
or "grid tied" where they are putting power into and taking it out of the 
grid.
In order for it to be completely off grid and thus self supporting it HAS to 
have some sort of storage
battery for the current.   Yes I know there are panels that will operate in 
low light but they are also
very limited on output in those conditions.

Lot of solar systems now don not use storage batteries.

Take away the government subsidies on CFL's and solar and see what happens.
I'm all in favor of solar but the current equipment on the market will not
pay for
it's self in energy savings before the equipment is worn out (include the
storage
batteries in that equation)

Keeping the brooder warm reason for incandescent bulbs only applies to
probably 0.02% of the population these days, if that.  Just think, if we
keep cutting our electric use plus with solar getting cheaper, a lot of
homes and businesses could become pretty energy independent. Just like the
old days before power lines were run everywhere.
