My narrowboat uses about 1.75 at worst an hour on diesel, costing average 96p.. say a pound an hour. I run 7 domestic batteries, run 1.5 hours a day if moored.. who has a calculator?<BR/><BR/>:DSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911045617767626806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11311723.post-25892922363370424982007-09-28T21:35:00.000+00:002007-09-28T21:35:00.000+00:00It is such a good thing that you are doing here.

It will surely repay in real money over time and the solar panel(s) will add to this good effect.
