This thread has me thinking of a way to use the three large solar panels I bought for the Y2K scare (I admit it, I was scared). I have them connected to a controller and four big batteries (two of which have died). I'm thinking I could position the panels to shade the compressor and also drive something (fan? water pump?) to help the compressor. I could lose the batteries since I would only want the thing working when the sun was shining.
