#32 Tengboche, where we spent the night before heading to Dingboche. 2 Solar Cookers at our hotel. We also had a great jam session and "how to bring about peace" discussion with young Israeli singer and guitarist (an excellent musician) Daniel Zakai, and talked about the Arava Institute of the Environment and its mission of solving political and social problems by having us all focus on environmental degradation and scarcity as our common enemies.
#33: Satellite station at Tengboche: 32 Polycrystaline Kyocera 51 W panels, 24 Monocrystaline 70 W Tata BP panels, 8 Monocrystaline 50 W panels (no label). A Prostar 15 Amp Charge Controller and a Morningstar Tristar Charge Controller. The system was comprised of a 1600 W array, a 1680 Watt array and a 400 Watt array, giving a 3.68 KW System. It used 3 banks of 12 x 2 6 Volt Batteries and 2 banks of 24 6 Volt Batteries (or were they 2 volt cells?).
Ironically there was a 60 watt incandescent bulb hanging outside the back door!
