    Someone commented, "There is a lot here, some of it very good. But I take exception to #5."

    I don't. Moore's Law is based on the fact that integrated circuit components are halved in size every two years without loss of functionality. Obviously, PV cannot do that; 1000W/m^2 is all we have to work with.

    It's obvious the guy doesn't understand economics...
    Home system 4000 watt (Evergreen) array standing, with 2 Midnite Classic Lites,  Midnite E-panel, Magnum MS4024, Prosine 1800(now backup) and Exeltech 1100(former backup...lol), 660 ah 24v Forklift battery(now 10 years old). Off grid for 20 years (if I include 8 months on a bicycle).
    - Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.
