You made me laugh several times today! Thanks!

Re those single-crystal Si solar panels, how many receptors per panel?
Who makes them?

My daughter, who lives among the Northern California Redwoods, just 
purchased a battery powered inverter for her house, for emergency a/c 
power. She will have a 40W. and a 65W. solar panel, to recharge her 
battery when not in use. Probably Si.

Anyhow, it will be enough to take the worry factor out of her frequent 
Winter power outages.

I'm an M.E. and I will not address the GEEK formula with you! I'd come 
off second best!  <g>
