Blog example- Mobile solar system

  I  spent some time this morning tying up a frame to support a solar panel and the battery pack from the GoalZero system that we purchased.  This setup will allow us to have some electricity for personal electronics-laptop, tablet, battery chargers, cellphones, etc.  It has both DC, and AC output and seems to be quite flexible and well designed.  Ideally I would have it set up to track.  There is some potential for shadow with the present set up, but I wanted to get something going to see how flexible and forgiving it is.  I would rather learn about the system now, then while in the field.
