    He's never ran a chainsaw before so I was a little nervous.

    Added two more panels by making temporary mounts than can be removed quickly. Brings the capacity to 1440 watts.. Its a little shaky in the back, but seems to be roadworthy. Just have to remember you have a lot more hanging off front and rear. Should bring the charging to about 35-40 amps even under less than ideal conditions.

    Electric saws are great to start with.
    They are still kind of loud but I don't think they can be heard from a half mile away like gas saws.

    Taylor Dunn industrial cart/solar generator | eBay
    1978 Taylor Dunn b248 outfitted with 1440 watts of solar panels, and a 5000 watt inverter. This cart can do it all! From lighting up your house during a power outage, or bringing 120v power to your work in the yard or simply being a party platform at Motorcycle rallies with its stripper pole!! Yep. the whole solar top comes off in 5 sections to transform it to a party cart! The party follows you at the rallies! Take a nap in the hammock after the work is done while cooling off with the 6 point misting system. Perfect for the off grid home owner, survivalist, prepper or simply be prepared for long term power outages. The "Lectric Lee" can be de themed by flipping the bed panels. I can de theme or repaint permanent for the new owner for small fee.
