    Non solar related, Ryzen 7900x3d CPU for $329!

    I almost picked a 7800x3d up from Ali express when they hit $330. I don't have any experience with buying from that site so I kept waiting. Zotac, power color, and Gigabyte have been a pita for me when it comes to customer support :/ 4090's are crazy, the performance is off the charts! 4070...

    Non solar related, Ryzen 7900x3d CPU for $329!

    I'm sure that's helping drive the price down, some of the 8000 series cpus have already been released but they are low end. The seller is on a few stores around the web. I don't know how, but from time to time he comes out with ridiculously good deals. I follow him on newegg ebay etc. I picked...

    Non solar related, Ryzen 7900x3d CPU for $329!

    I can only assume there are gamers among us, this is the 2nd fastest cpu for gaming available right now, was too good for me to pass up. Normally priced well over $400+ cpu. Ive bought from the seller before "antonline"...

    Solar panel shed roof, anyone tried Blikir?

    Butyl tape, silicone, windshield adhesive, you name it, a lot of people have thought about using panels as a final roof as opposed to shingles, metal, etc. but what do we put between the panels? I just found this stuff called Blikir. Anyone have experience with it? or have solid experience with...

    Choosing inverter in 2024. MIN10000TL vs 6000XP vs LV-6548

    That was on my mind, will it communicate with eg4/sungold solar batteries etc? right now I have four 12.8V in series with no communication. Not doing that again.

    Choosing inverter in 2024. MIN10000TL vs 6000XP vs LV-6548

    Grid tie is not a requirement, or needed. The house has no gas so everything is electric and I do not have the roof/yard space to go off grid.

    Should I be upset? Negative Rich Solar warranty experience.

    I know I am leaning on the picky side, for as much as I paid for it I expect it to work though. Dealing with them has been nothing but unpleasant for me. Not ever buying from them again. That is good advice, learning is expensive. :cautious:
