Less time? I bet you couldnt change your one battery in less time than
it takes to gas up. Now imagine if you had to unbolt and wrassle a
dozen big ol T105 boogers around at about 70 lbs a piece. Wearing a
suit and late to work. Its takes more KWhrs to drive you car to work
and back than it does to run your house for a day.... maybe 30KWhrs. If
you have 4 big 2" x 4" solar panels that are about 200 W each, you have
almost a KW for about 6 hrs? That will get you about half charged up.
Hope you dont work nite shift.....

You obviously have a 'quick change shop' to do it.
