AC piggyback ride

Not that I mind carrying batteries up stairs....but I after some looking around my place I found a much more convenient (if not ironic) place for my panel. Pushing to the side the shutters on my window AC unit, I was able fit the panel through the unit's frame and place it up against the window. A screw on top of the AC unit was placed in a great spot to help support the bottom of the panel.



Once in place, I pulled the cable tight and ran it across the unit's length and down the side.



I also used cable mounts to nail the cable to the sill. The cable continued to the floor and plugged into my power pack.



The panel has eye holes along its length. I may pull the panel back inside, run some wire that allows me to anchor the panel on both sides, and re-install it. Meanwhile, I've saved myself a trip up the stairs on this sunny day.
