How long can you go without having to fire up the generator?

When the batteries were new a bit different from their present condition. The system was designed to go for three days without sun. In the first year after installation, the generator was run once, for two hours. These days, needs to be run whenever the sun is absent for a full day; this is why new batteries.

The system design is for three days without sun. It remains to be seen how these new batteries perform, but I would expect yes, five or six days on this system.

Batteries are now installed, and my back has just about recovered. Now all I have to worry about is finding the best scrap dealer.
