Let's Try This Again.Why wdn't I buy this Solar Kit for $264
I did some calculations on my needs to run my water pump a few times a day and power my laptop for two hours total and a couple LED lights for a few hours and it seems 120 Watts might be sufficient to keep my battery up on sunny days. My Honda EU2000i will do duty on sunless days. The price od solar per watts seems to have plumited just in the last few months. These new system prices from Solar Boulevard were just posted on June 13. I'm seeing 120watt systems from $250 to well over $600.
This one from from Solar Boulevard is $288 and from what I can find out on the internet they seem to be a reputable concern.
