    Details on the off-grid power system (for house and workshop): 
    
    Solar Panels: (940 watt capacity) [this information from previous owners] 
    8 - 75 watt Siemens panels 
    4 - 85 watt BP Solar panels 
    
    Batteries: 12 US Battery deep cycle 6 volt - 232 AH - total capacity 696 amp hours at 24 volt (new in Nov 
    2010) 
    
    Diesel Generator: Northern Lights Lugger - 6KW 
    
    in March 2006, the solar array and wiring system was reconfigured by an electrical contractor to 24 volt 
    and upgraded for greater capacity and efficiency, adding: 
    Trace GSM Generator Start Module (auto start based on voltage) 
    Xantrex Sine Wave Plus 4 KW, 24 volt Power Panel (inverter/charger) 
    Xantrex DC 250 amp breaker 
    Inverter Bypass-60 Isolation Switch (60 amp) 
    TriMetric Model 2020 battery system monitor 
    Solar Boost 40 Photovoltaic Charge controller 
    
    This system has served the two of us very well. We are told BC Hydro grid power will be available at the 
    top of the driveway in late 2016. Roadside clearing for pole RoW is scheduled to begin on July 11.
