    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    Mobile AC. I gave up residential 20 some years ago but do work on reefers and some refrigeration occasionally plus buses. That requires the 608 cert so I have 608 and 609. Season starts last week of March/first week of April and I wash the work trailer up and unhook it in mid November. I get...

    Heat Pump water Heaters

    Keep your solar water heater until it fails. Nothing is cheaper than something that is already paid for and running. 240 gallons is nice size, using a calculator for heat storage of 90°F to 130°F comes to about 23.5 Kwh. Heating water coming out of the ground at 55°F to 130°F is 44Kwh. I...

    Heat Pump water Heaters

    You are forgetting inflation. My business management system has a screen that pops up when entering in a vendor PO and invoice for a part number that was sold here before. Most items have increased by 45% since 2019, easily over 7% per year compounded. The government lies about inflation. I...

    Bad storm came thru and powers out for 1/2 the county

    They can be beautiful with some sun and the right background. Most never hit anything and most are never seen. Now that one in OK the other day that was 1.5 miles wide, that is a whole different game.

    4 X class solar flares to impact this weekend.

    My opinion? It will affect the grid if anything, off grid probably not. If stuff fails, I still have a warranty. :)

    Bad storm came thru and powers out for 1/2 the county

    Earlier today about 25 miles from here, nothing unusual with this type of weather. I saw the spotters from town head out past my place and knew something was up. Nothing serious, it did touch down. Back around 1968 one went right thru the middle of that town and killed some people. The next year...

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    I'm not sure if I'm putting in both mini splits in the shop this year or just one. Official Loads Tester is looking forward to not installing that big 2 ton window unit. I'm leaving the 2 ton central unit in place as backup and if I need to cool things off quick. I'd save on the electricity but...

    Magic Smoke came out......... ##it happens

    They watch videos to learn from others. Some of the subscribers are from here but some are just searching and researching. Honest experiences matter to me, I turn off promo type videos pretty fast. I do like to see others experience, honesty and different setups with different ideas.

    You would beat me because I'm building a system from scratch, the PV, batteries and installing inverters. I don't have everything here yet and I have about 5 projects going at any one time. I'm working my truck camper after the heat pump install. Making a cabinet face for the new microwave. If...

    Magic Smoke came out......... ##it happens

    It is test with SS support. How long or bad can they screw up? One of my most viewed videos was about the failure on their end regarding tech support. I'm not going to sugarcoat things but I will give credit if it is due. Marcus took care of me when I first installed the charge controllers...

    Are you doing the deal with Vicky Wen? I asked, here was the response. When encountering unprofessional freight forwarders, this situation may occur. The freight price that the freight forwarders give us for the first time is different from the freight when we deliver the goods. This kind of...

    You spoiled the fun. :ROFLMAO: I like to test their system and report on it. Next time, I'm not posting about it. :)

    Heat Pump water Heaters

    They do, stainless and abs. Not cheap, I bought a lifetime plastic tank water heater for a rental, about double the price.
