Well Clare, I have no idea what you said, but, zachary said;

"Well that is the big question. I have an unknown ability to charge
with
hydro-electric (ammeter still isn't here) and I've got an eu2000i (2
actually) and 120 watts of solar to use."

And I also said;

"When you get the hydro going its 24/7 charging and will require less
battery than solar when all is said and done. But you have indicated a
short fall for several months a year with water supply. This will of
course mean more panels or gen time. Fuel prices will probable be the
deciding factor in the end, unless you can secure some water storage.

But then the question is why are you trying to make it look like your
post is from zachary.
