Solar is an important part of our work from practically anywhere lifestyle. In this episode, Robert and I talk about our solar set-up and how it has evolved.

#011 – What We Did at Overland Expo East

#005 – Our Solar Eclipse Journey
There was certainly solar eclipse frenzy on Monday, August 21st. Like many, we used the Eclipse as an excuse to get away from our home base and take the day off work.
