	That's now the point. Under solar operation, you will need only 100W to make this practical, as this is a slow moving device. A standard panel is 300W. I would use 1-2 panels for 600W to cover ample acreage. We could make it as large as 10kW if needed.		That's now the point.

	*180 ~~hpn~~ towable panel. Take Max of about 60 meters. Widen the 5 meter by 3 via telecoping out the same distance each way. Have 15m x 60m. The 22.5 kW becomes 135kW electric. That is sufficient. Lightweight fiber composite plastics could do the trick for support structures. Panels telescope in for wind protection.		*180 hp towable panel. Take Max of about 60 meters.
