After I read about that lady that lost her entire rabbitry because a power failure shut her A/C off I was forced to look at my plans . Since I am in AZ and will have an indoor rabbitry a power failure in the summer would be fatal to all . I am currently working out the details for installing a battery/solar back up system that would take over in case of an outage . Outages are "kinda" common with 1-2 hours not being unusual and 7-8 hours have happened . Just a note to others looking at solar . Do your homework . There are many "snake oil salesman" out there . As a matter of fact it has already hit home . 2 guys I know have gotten jobs with the local big solar company . I would not trust either . One told me that if he places a full system he gets 5K . This tells me that there is a LOT of fat in there . In this months Mother Earth News there is a GREAT article on doing a lot of it yourself . I'm certainly looking at that angle . So in the meantime you can expect me back when all my ducks are in a row .
