In order to eliminate disruptions due to electric power outages, and the monthly minimum charges from the power company, we are considering leaving the grid and going all solar at our club observatory. We would welcome any advice or references from those amateur astronomers who have had some success at going solar.
Our observatory is used about once every other week on average, but sometimes twice a week. A computer is used maybe an hour /month, and the lights are used very little. The telescope clock drive is the main thing, runs about 2 hours per session.
