Just a quick Hi to everybody. Joined few days ago and went over most of the posts and answers regarding photovoltaic. Planing on residential 10kW project in next 12 to 18 months. Enthusiastic about all the possibilities, but smart enough to look for as many downsides as possible (money doesn't grow on trees, after all). Possible budget, after all rebates and kickbacks, $10-$11K. Lots of variables, options and personalized solutions. Plan is to harvest 100% of our domestic consumption and then some. Plan is to, eventually, be able to charge my future EV. I don't see alternative to EV. Least painful way to see them rolling soon and in large numbers on our streets, is to, IMHO, federally finance transition, if needed be, of Big Oil into Big Energy. I know, I know... 
Nobody will willingly cut the branch that are sitting on. Oh, did I mention - I am gas station owner . I can see in my lifetime gas stations changing whole battery pack of the EV in less then 5 minutes, giving you credit for remaining charge(somehow adjusted for the age of battery) or topping up the charge with some sort of rapid charger, making bigger profits then now (1c to 10c per gallon). Back to topic.
I found recently a website that sells 300W panels (check the link please). Do you know anything about maker's reputation?
I plan to mound two arrays on two schedule 40 poles (18 panels each, 3*6) and I am trying to come with an idea for some sort of manual mechanism to adjust them at least 4 times per year to maximize the harvest. Would such device come under UL certification rules? Mike, Dereck, Russ, Jason, Solar Dave and others - Thank You for existing !
PS that wasn't quick of a "Hi" after all.
