sounds rockin man , and good plan on the emergency backup , i was actually thinkin about doubling up on my battery stash so that there would be ( ideally 24hours worth) if it so happened my mains was to go.
As for the pole , thats sumthin u only notice with trial and error but i wouldnt want 1 of my finer creations ending 1 falling and fookin up all ur other hard work i hope the weather keeps under control by our standards till u get it soprted . .
i was also wondering about the windturbine turning from its base so it can go with the strongest wind , mayb a tad more work but might be worth it in the long run - at that i did a crap little sketch of a turbine that rotates but has a constantly south facing panel for solar .. im blabbering again, appologies lack of sleep.
have u tested the classic bicycle peddle to the metal output for the odd chance we may have some still days?
