>>>>>We have a storage off our deck and keep a generator there. It has gas in it and it has been treated with that stuff to help make it more stable over time. Regardless, I have been instructed to create a small vent in the door to allow vapors to escape. All that said, and knowing that gas fumes tend to hover around the ground, my question is, should the vent be put near the top of the door or the bottom. Does it matter?

>NOT A Stupid question: do solar panels generate energy even when it isn't sunny? Or is the energy somehow stored to be used when needed?

Yes, even on a cloudy day there is power generated, but it is less than on a sunny day.
Yes, the energy can be stored in batteries.

My 9 panels feed into six 12 volt marine batteries. You can use the batteries twelve volts to run a 12 volt system or feed the 12 volts into
an inverter which will boost the battery voltage to 110 volt house current.
