If no one has mentioned it turn down or off the back light on the Vizio. All of our flat screens have this setting. Not sure what it would do for power consumption though.
Hmmm. I'll look into that.
Re our solar, we have about 800 watts, flat mounted over the crown of the roof, 4 X 125 watt and 4 X 75 watt, plus or minus, all going through a blue sky controller (SB50) controller. I check them once a year on June 21'st (plus or minus) at the same latitude and longitude at 1300 hours. Eight years ago we got about 33 amps and we got almost the same this year. Probably not the most scientific way to do it but if it drops off significantly one year I'll go hunting for a weak panel or bad connection. The batterie bank is 8 X 6 volt batteries. Told ya we are powerhogs. :)
