The lights are the real kicker here. In the winter, there is obviously a pretty good chance that I will be working after the sun has gone down, and lights will probably be key. I am planning on mounting some low amp running lights on the canopy which should help if I leave the traditional headlamps off.
Another source for electrical draw will be a fan to keep fogging down on the inside of the windshield.
I have never checked, but I wonder what the current head lights draw right now ... that will give me a base line to work from.
What would really be slick here is a variable pitch fan blade .... that would solve all kinds of problems. I wonder if I could make one. It would not be as efficient as the one that is on there now, but as long as it is in the ballpark. Hmmmm
