Solar powering the band

We (LEAF)have been asking ourselves for a few years now, "What would it take to make a solar powered band?"

We we have been toiling and twisting our mind and have come up with a pretty solid plan to get Leaf into the realm of solar music.

I think that a solar powered band would be the coolest thing ever really. I mean if not musicians then who? Who else has the vision and angst to commit to fully changing the way they produce their art. Leaf could be 100% solar powered with a little bit of effort and some money. I may have to start a new blog dedicated to this aim alone. The information is so extensive and the wording is long.

But i have to admit seeing Nissan use OUR name LEAF for a total electric car is enough to light the fires under my arse and get this ball rolling. It's time. The future is now. LEAF is going solar.

So far I'm in possession of 6 deep cycle batteries for storage and approximately 100 watts of solar panels. I need to up my panel input to 400 watts and get an inverter capable of putting out 1500 watts at 120amps. LEAF can do this. This is exciting!!! Imagine a solar powered band playing on the road... somewhere out there... LEAF is coming.
