 Actual power harvest would vary depending on the amount of driving (alternator), and [[electrical:solar:pvwatts|location/season]] (solar).  Let's assume 30 minutes of driving each day and middling latitudes like Salt Lake City.  Actual power harvest would vary depending on the amount of driving (alternator), and [[electrical:solar:pvwatts|location/season]] (solar).  Let's assume 30 minutes of driving each day and middling latitudes like Salt Lake City.
