Courtney Brooke: Here’s our new ride, the club car. It’s a golf cart for cruising around Earthaven, but the news about it is that it’s got a solar panel on top so you can charge it with electricity.   But that’s pretty challenging to do when you live off the grid. So, Brandon, who’s over there digging around in the cover crop seeds, rigged up this solar panel to the top of it.  Let’s try to see the solar panel …. There, it’s like that!

So does that mean that means that you can basically drive it around and you don’t have to charge it at all?

Brandon: We’re hoping that it’ll just charge itself off of the it solar panel off the top. I got a charge controller hooked up. It’s is specially made for the golf cart. It’s is down there in the back seat box. Yeah, working it out.

Courtney Brooke: The toolbox? That’s not the charge controller.  Oh, that box. There it is. That’s the charge controller.
So you just got a solar panel. You got the charge controller. You need to hook it up.

Brandon: I got a fuse in my pocket. I just need a few more wires.

Courtney Brooke: Got a fuse in your pocket…

Brandon: Yeah. Then we just got to put the golf cart where it’ll be in the Sun, and then it’ll charge it, hopefully keep itself charged all the time.

Courtney Brooke: Awesome.
