Geo,
I remember 69 or was it 68, and 78 was a dilly too.
As to your question about solar panels as DRussell noted you have to orientate them to compensate for the sun being lower in the winter. Some people do this three times a year, but around here I only do it twice a year. Yeah, I can be lazy at times. The thing is because it snows in the winter when the panels are almost vertical snow doesn't build up on them....well very often any way. When it does, it sheds pretty quickly as soon as the sun's rays starts hitting them. Some times if the batteries are low and I really want to capture as much energy as I can, cause the days are so short, I'll go out with a push broom and one downward swipe cleans them. That's the advantage of having them mounted on poles on the ground. As for the insurance issue some body else will have to address that one. But I suspect they'd be covered.....for an additional fee of course. JD
