  • The leanings of this "group".

    I am pretty new around here, and actually did not know you had a "basement" or "porta potty" section till a little bit ago. It took me a while to take a look down here as I was sure just where the lean would be. I was fairly sure if I came down here, I would be off to band camp fairly...
  • I am in sticker shock, it is so expensive (wire rant)

    Not really "solar" I just needed to rant for a sec. I am in process of setting up an on demand water heater for my shop, requires 30a. Ok fine....oops not fine I don't have any 10-2 so off to Home Depot I go for a breaker and roughly 100ft of wire. First find the breaker, ok $20 not too bad...
  • Heating harvested rain water

    This is a little different from what I have seem to found on here. I want to keep it from freezing and busting the tank. I currently have an IBC container and several barrels. I would like to keep them all from freezing, but not sure that is realistic. I would really like to keep the IBC...
  • Solar with a automatic transfer panel for Generator already installed.

    I am going to try to explain this well. I already have a system for my shop, works well and I have no issues with that. I am looking at one of two things, tie the shop solar into the house, or a different entire system for the house. In the house there is a automatic transfer panel that will...
  • 240v, 241 what ever it takes....Inverter question.

  • Solar panel ground instllation.

    I am finally getting ready to setup my small array (8 100w renergy panels) These are going to be used really as something to fool with. They are going into my shop and I already have an inverter and some batteries. I already know they will run the lights for quite some time, and things like a...
  • Can I split solar panels to different charge controllers?

    I think I define noob here, I have done a little looking but just not sure. On my setup, and it really is more playing then a "real use" deal. I have one "hybrid" controller that does wind and solar, and it works real well. I also have some charge controllers that are for lead acid only...
  • Chinese Diesel Heater, powering the thing.

    I have one of these things in my shop, and it actually works quite well.....save one issue. I have a small 12V battery, Not this one but one of the same size as well as a lead acid "lawn mower" battery. The diesel heater will work just fine off of these batteries no issue at all. The diesel...
