Beaumont is a wind tunnel, so why not look into a wind generator. As I recall solar boils water then it is sent to a steam generator. many parts. Seems to me it would cost less than solar that is generally used to heat water.

What are you talking about we sometimes go hours without any wind! :D :D
We are looking at a lot of property right now as well, sort of in the middle of no where, right now. Power is not that far, other sources are being looked at. we will need a well for water :idea:
So keep the information coming :idea:
Thats right keep them coming!

My dad is one of the largest distributors for Solar Power solar systems in the country. He does both residential and commercial, and I'm sure he could hook you up with whatever you need. Just tell him you know his son Dan from the Hot Boat message board....

hey dan any more pics of the boat (campbell )
I've got a bunch on the home computer but none here at work. I'll post some tonight.
Things are really moving along now... we got the new strut, shaft log and shaft installed; the V-drive is mounted and installed, tanks are in and hooked up, my dad made the new plates out of stainless on his mill and we installed them on the boat with all new hardware... and I've FINALLY got the motor just about buttoned up and ready for the dyno shop. If we don't spend too much time this weekend at the Irvine Lake deal we're going to make motor rails and get everything ready for the engine. I'm getting a little nervous now, because pretty soon it will be ready for the upholstery shop and that bill is going to hurt!
...man, wish I could help, but you are about a year ahead of our production releases.
I currently work for Nanosolar(Click Here), (http://www.nanosolar.com) and we are the pioneering company in highly efficient votalic solar cells on panels that can be rolled up like a poster. Lightweight, cheap and efficient. A 10x14 foot sheet puts out 110 volts!
Don't know when you intend to start/complete construction, but our voltaic solar panels will transform the solar electricity industry into cheap affordable solar-electric power. This could dramatically change our views on this alternative energy.
Our design will crush all current supplier/designs and render them obsolete, so if you can wait before spending your money, do so. The government just bet 10.4 million dollars that we can do it (in the form of the prestigious DARPA award).

p.s. If we could harness all the sunlight that hits the earth in just 60 seconds, it would supply enough electricity for the whole planet for an entire year.
A 100-mile square array of solar cells operating at 10% efficiency in Arizona can supply the entire United States with all the electricity it currently consumes.
