Northern Vermont QRP Society - Field Day 2003/FD2003-022.JPG

NVQS Power and Light - an Exeltech 500 watt sine wave inverter. the solar array plugs in via the large PowerPoles on the left. No controller was used since it was just a two day event. We disconnected the panels shortly after 12 noon on Sunday as the bank was refilled from saturdy overnight drain. battery cables were #2 gage wire to 3 8D type batteries of about 218 AH each. AC was distributed via 50 foot and 100 foot 14 ga extension cords and supplied power for fans, lights, and computers. Each transceiver had its own separate battery.
