In 1984 I purchased an ARCO #PV panel for my #offgrid 10x10 cabin. It charged a motorcycle battery, and I used it to power my homebrew #z80 computer and stereo. I hauled water from the central farm house up the hill in a 5 gallon jug. I would heat up the water over a propane stove, put it in a bucket on the roof, and shower with a siphon before riding my moped 7 miles away to sell #msdos and #cpm machines. I went back a few months ago and my old cabin is part of the forest floor now.
