I DIY repair anything I can because it costs too darn much to pay someone else all the time. And I learn along the way. Like, I really do not want to know what it would have cost me to fix this. Leaked right around the window frame and rotted the mess. Resulted in gutting the wall and...

There is a part of me that doesn't care what one competitor says of another. Of course they're gonna talk smack one way or another. Sol-Ark didn't design their inverter, I really wish they wouldn't pretend that they did. My biggest peeve with them is they act all "USA USA" while using an...

Should be a simple solution. Run as grid-input but not "grid tied" so if the sun hides too long and the batteries run low, you pull from the grid and never run out of power, but you can't get your stuff ("legally") stolen. But I know, that goes against the entire plan of the govt who wants to...

If the $12k order was canceled it tells me that there is possibly a backstory we're not being told. I don't think any company would just willy nilly cancel $12k.

If I was off grid I'd just expect to build out to cover the winter, and excess in summer is just that, excess. It can help run the AC. Charge up the battery powered zero turn mower. Maybe I'd come up with something fun to use the excess power for during the summer. Don't know. But if it got...

But NEED vs WANT?!

It should be this way. What you have is it backfeeding itself (and other stuff) which is all kinds of no good. What did you have, a breaker from your sub panel feeding the EG4, and the EG4 output going back into the sub panel on another breaker? It is going to try to power itself which will...

Old Quote from many years back, "he who does not work shall not eat." I'm sorry but ifbsomeone is too frickin' lazy to work then no he has no "right" to house and food and all that. Work for it. I get it people fall on hard times and need help and that's fine, or some get disabled and can no...

Then don't do it that way. Zero export to them, screw them.

Problem is who gets to define bad. Leave my gas car alone. I love my battery powered weed eater and hedge trimmer. If the battery powered mower existed that I wanted when I needed a mower I would have that too. What is it with a certain group of people wanting so bad to force their opinions on...

As we know it. And I feel fine.

I think it is nuts that the federal government supposedly owns that much land toc begin with.

That's what happens when politicians who are not scientists or engineers (and likely controlled by some sort of special interest group or their own greed) start making sweeping decisions for you. "You must do X now!" "But that isn't physically possible, at least not with current tech..?" "TOO...

You will confirm global warming ("climate change" now) or else you get no moolah. They literally punish those who do not fall in line with the approved narrative, regardless of what the truth actually may be. Look at mRNA - the guy who pioneered the stuff got booted because he said hey this is...

Everything is going up. A simple 2x4 is over $7 now, a 250ft roll of 12-2 wire is like $160 which I used to buy for half that, etc. We have idiots running the show here in the US, so that doesn't help things either.

In case anyone is interested, I tore into ithe leaky wall/window again with the rage of a frustrated homeowner ticked off at both his own folly and the builder's incompetence that contributed to the leak (would not have needed to tear into it the first time around had it been done right the...

You were relying on alligator clips for that? Chance that it had a bad connection and was misreading the cell voltage, and you may have had a runner that popped something. LTO doesn't just blow like that. You really shouldn't use alligator clips for your pack.

What is with this bizarre idea that we need to make this cost more? Like, why do you think we should have higher taxes so people feel more forced to do what you want? Why do you want to control people so bad? Want an EV? Fine, ger one. But don't try to force your neighbors and total strangers...

Put in natural gas. Keep your large propane tank. Fill it when prices are low and when you have a few extra bucks. If something bad happens, switch the connection back to your propane tank and change the jets back over.

If you think freedom is dumb, then go to some communist country and leave the rest of us alone 😡

Dude, you're yelling at the wrong thing.

I bought a single burner 120V hot plate instead so during a mains outage I'll still be able to fry bacon. Bacon is too important.

I Avoided the vax because it was untested (except on the populace). Glad I did. I don't need any nasty clots or other nasty side-effects caused by my body now seeing itself as the source of the virus. Brilliant idea to give your body some blueprints how to manufacture something bad, and then the...

If the wire used is thin enough, it is self-fusing ?

And don't work on this when tired or distracted. I might have an experience with the tired/distracted thing ⚡⚡

I read good things about Selterm lugs you can get on Amazon so I bought those. They feel hefty enough, but I don't have anything to compare them to.

It was never about the environment to "them." It is about control and money. Global warming/climate change is just a convenient façade. Really, just follow the money. You can't get scientific "grants" and all kinds of funding for any kind of research that doesn't have the end goal or result of...

"It's not who votes, but who counts the votes." - Biden

I find the incessant emails rather maddening and a clutter in my inbox. I have mine turned off by default, have for years on all the forums I've been on. I don't see how a piled mess of emails is any more useful than just opening the site on occasion and checking the site notifications directly...
