Energetic energy padawan
Obviously a "solar parody" of Monty Python's Galaxy Song :·)
The choice of words and semi-rhymes is meant to to keep it close enough - and above all, vaguely assonant - to the original.
Just a boring Sunday morning, really ;·)
Whenever life gets you down, Mrs.Brown
And things seem hard or tough
And people are stupid, obnoxious or daft
And you feel that you've had quite enough...
Just remember that you're charging from a windmill that's evolving
And revolving at twelve thousand revs an hour
And drawing lots of amps for every second - so it's reckoned
From the wind that is the source of some good power.
The sun and you and me, even though some might not agree
Are doing good and better every day
By improving solar charge, and maximising charging hours
In a clever and efficient sort of way.
Our batteries themselves can store a ton and more Amperes
And they're lithium ferrous phosphate on the side.
They don't bulge in the middle 'cause the walls are really thick
And on the sides they're pretty well and tightly tied.
300 amps an hour is a decent starting point
To get useful kilowattage for the year
And our batteries will only store amperes by the million
If they're properly maintained and held quite dear.
Our chargers and inverters are quite good and undemanding
As long as they don't really start to fizz
They're good as they can be, though they're not exactly free
They supply the energy if no sun we can see.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure
How comparatively cheap is their real worth
Cause there may not be a lot of sun and wind up there in space
But we sure can have enough down here on Earth
