Carl,
Do you mind sharing info on your solar panel setup? I am in Central NJ (Somerset) and was thinking about using solar panels. It probably won't happen this spring, since I need to repair spa seat jets, replace the main drain's ball valve, and install my SWG (which will likely require a fair amount of re-plumbing).

TIA for any info or photos you can share.
