Re: (ET) Tool receptacle

["Christopher Zach" <czach computer org>]

The home power article I remember had zero on the concept of Elec-Traks 
with
solar. Yes that had a picture with a pair of panels in there, but it
appeared to be nothing more than a mock-up.

They might be interested in my experiences with setting up the ET; it did
cost a fair bit of cash (over time) and doing it right with the right
components (ie: to NEC code) does take awhile.

If you know of anyone else with a solar ET, let me know; I would like to
swap stories with them.

really shouldn't need an extra ground, however you could make something 
with
the extra ground lead with an alligator clip on it if you really want it
grounded.  I never worry about the extra ground when I'm using low voltage
DC.  You could look into the Home Power article and see how they hook 
theirs
up. Also there are a couple other solar guys that do the same thing, that
are part of the ET scene. You might check their sites to see what you can
come up with.
