permaculture

[Lisa MacIver <lisamaciver8@yahoo.com>]

I'm considering adding some solar.  However, I'm not sure about 
batteries - delicate to maintain, full of toxic chemicals - nor 
does the idea of intertie appeal.  I'm told that it's unlikely to 
work to attach solar directly to (even DC) appliances, since the 
requirements of the appliance generally don't match the flow of 
power at the time.  Is there a good, sustainable way to manage 
the power once you have it?
