Solar Power for the High Tunnel

It all started with the posts to hold the panels: sunk three feet underground with concrete.

I needed power to open and close the louvers of the high tunnel.  Moreover, power was needed to run the blower that provides a layer of air between the two plastic layers - making the tunnel better to withstand the wind. Kamal designed a structure to make it all work.
