Rhe only good news is with us being this far north in Latitude, its light until 9:30-10:00 and light at 6:00 AM. How many hours do we need light for?

Also, heaters aren't usually needed from May until around Oct. so those with electric heat can really help.

Low water in Winter is the tough one. Nothing better than having a cold one on the deck at sunset during summer, who needs power (except to keep that cold one cold).
