[AMPS] sola xmfr operation

[nospam4me@juno.com]

Hi Peter,

Sola's are relatively cheap out here in California. I often see them 
at the electronic flea markets. Surplus Sellers often don't even 
really know what to do with them.  I used them quite a bit in a 
past project.  One thing I  will say is the ones I have used (Sola) 
tend to consume a significant bit of energy in operation.  Some 
of the larger units I have in service put a hefty bite on the utility 
bill.  One customer of mine had them removed and replaced with 
updated UPS units when we did a survey of his power consumption. 

cheers
