@Debbie292d what are you looking for a solar nerd for?

We're going to go solar on our home in a few years. We can't right now as hubby is tied up remodeling.

In the meantime, I have been looking on Marketplace unsuccessfully for a solar setup for the two coops. 3K watts (2K heater in one coop, 1K in the other) and a standard-size air conditioner in the breeder coop is what the worst would be.

Solar panel placement may have to be independent as one coops is surrounded by trees, and the other one faces south, but not sure I want to stare at solar panels there. Although, they would be a block for the heat in the summer.

I shop but have no idea what I'm looking at, and hubby just tells me find the deal and show him. Everything I show him isn't good enough or has some fault. It's on me to do this and I don't know what I'm looking at. I've learned we need an inverter that can handle 3K watts, a few lithium batteries, a few large solar panels, but how much of each and is buying a new setup maybe the best idea?

Toss that thing in the trash and send a sternly worded letter to whomever designed it about their idiotic torture device.

I wish. I've spent the money, so it's happening.

Appreciate the extra tips!

Place it on a flat surface outside.
Assign a hen to each color.
Dip their feet in the paint and let them go to town.
Post results here!

You can call her that. I won't stop you. I don't mind that name at all. Maybe it's her middle name. Constance Marge the Lincoln Town Car.

Next thing you know it's going to be accidentally Constable Marge the Town Car.
