I've never made hash, but I've seriously been considering getting a 5 or 8 bag set. I thought about making some bags, but I think rhizome kinda talked me out of it, or at least that conversation never went very far. If I remember right, it's probably better to just shell out the money to the guys that make them professionally.

If you are going solar anything, it's better to set things up so that the power is routed back into your house overall, instead of trying to power individual things. If you don't use much power when it's sunny, you may need to store some in batteries, otherwise it just makes your electric meter run slower, or in some cases it will even run backward. Some people even end up having the electric company pay them, but I'm not holding my breath on that one any time soon.

I'd love to have an extra couple hundred grand laying around to line my roof with solar panels. I studied the sun as a future energy source in college. It's not going to replace dams or nuclear power plants any time soon unfortunately, but it is feasible for those of us in sunny locations. Like you WH, you lucky dog.
