Most of my days are spent tinkering and building wild devices, mostly for my grand-daughters. The one project that I enjoyed making the most was a portable roller coaster for the yard. On one occasion we laid 300' of PVC track on a gentle sloping lawn that they assembled in about 10 minutes.
For the last 7 years I have been designing and building portable and semi-portable solar trackers. I took an interest in solar when we moved out into the country with a nice big yard and a Barn with no power. One thing led to another and I eventually ran the Barn on solar and partially heated it with a passive solar furnace.
I realized early on that I did not want to spend my retirement building and selling portable solar trackers in kit form but it was clear that there was an interest in portable solar. Writing an ebook describing the components and their purpose seemed to be a step in the right direction. This ebook will help you decide for yourself if you want to experiment with solar and my FREE downloadable plans will help you build one.view less
