    Did you folks who gave this a thumbs up actually read it? Depending on how much this dude drives he will probably use all of the energy that he produces with his solar cells with his own vehicles not to mention his house. 15,000 kilowatt hours annually is not allot of energy. Think the amount it takes to run one single typical house. This is a RANCH!!! Sure, he may top off some electric cars for whoever takes the trek to his backwoods ranch, but don't think for a moment that it is all coming from those retarded solar cells. Also, judging by the climate shown in the picture, during the winter months he should not expect to make any significant amount of generation. The fool will be spending all of his time brushing off the solar cells. If anything, this should serve as an example of why solar power generation is useless for anything of any scale larger than a calculator or some LED lighting.
