How long does he intend to take? I suggest he does no more than 300km a day and makes it into a holiday, staying at cheap  Premiere Classe hotels and the like. Catching some of the sights on the way. Has he considered the weather? It could be miserable for him. (I had an awful soggy  trip round Loch Ness  in August when I was a student - but I'm no "Biker") I wish him all the best and I'm sure he'll be fine Ciao Billy

Quite so. I have found Sagraiasolar's posts very informative. Solar power really is a no brainer- but, and I suppose it is a BIG BUT. What is the life span of the various components? Will vacuum tube collectors last as long as manufacturers say? Will the PV panels last 25 years or be redundant in 10? How long will a grid tie inverter last? In the end we are essentially forking out for "consumer durables" and this cost (depreciation) has to be taken into account.Changing your solar panels very 9 years would be a bit of a fag- only time will tell. Remember what was said about how you could eat your dinner off a CD -if only!  Time to take the dog for his last walk of the day....

ENEL pay double that- check out their website simulations for payback times regarding renewables. (My proposed 3kw set up had an 8 year payback time) http://www.solarsat.eu/planner_enel/DefaultOK.aspx

Hung Chow calls his work and says, 'Hey, I no come wok today, I really sick . Got headache, stomach ache and legs hurt, I no come wok.' The boss says, 'You know something, Hung Chow, I really need you today. When I feel sick like you do, I go to my wife and tell her to give me Sex. That Makes everything better and I go to work. You try that.' Two hours later Hung Chow calls again. 'I do what You say and I feel Great. I be at wok soon.........You got nice house.'

Sorry to hear your sad tale. In Scotland  we have a saying :" You can't take the breeks off a Highlander" Fingers crossed your deceased buider does not fall into that category.
