Once again I never seem to think of anything first !

For taking advantage of the entire surface of the triangular roofs! The only way I was able to find any was with Google Images, nothing came up when clicking shopping. I would think with the new popularity of solar these would be easy to find by now.

I would think the worst part is worrying that when those city hall home invaders come to check out the solar they search for any other violation$ they can find.

I think solar charging lead acid is an art as much as it is chemistry/science. For now. Finding this out with what they call "float", why would they have named it that? Mine 'float' where they kind of settle out. Seems like this spec I have to figure out. Idea #1 I don't think these charge...

www.google.com/search?q=walkable+solar+panels&tbm=isch I got some ideas but lets see what diy solar forum comes up with.

There is a distilled water shortage, every store sold out by me www.google.com/search?q=distilled+water+shortage+2022 Many internet posts say using dehumidifier water in Pb-H₂SO₄ batteries is OK but does anyone know of a problem I cant think of ? A quick search of the internet I found make...

Oh nevermind.

Ok I get it your not going to charge it in a few hours but I thought the things were supposed to be all green and stuff. How much power does it take to charge a electric car? On average, an electric vehicle uses around 30 kWh to travel 100 miles. It would really add up if it was built into...

Image https://livingenergylights.com/ It is common to see 50+ year old Nickel Iron batteries still in service today, with some dating back to the 1940s! ... Read more https://ironedison.com/shop/batteries/nickel-iron/nickel-iron-ni-fe-battery/ And I had more on this but computer crashed and...

And yes its kind of annoying that the abbreviation for air condition and alternating current are both "AC".

These are awesome ! I really really really cant stand one decimal volt meters, What is this crap? 13.8 thats nice but is it rising or falling, how long until 13.9 or 13.7 ? One decimal voltmeters a serious pet peeve I got.

"Its like a bloody atomic bomb" Here is the Channel trailer,

All I know is lead is cheap and easy to source from junk sailboat keels and sulfuric acid is drain clog remover So I have no idea but I just searched https://www.google.com/search?q=build+lead+acid+battery

Heres a surprise: An aircraft lead-acid battery is designed to last 10 to 12 years, not the two to three years most of use as a replacement cycle. https://www.aviationconsumer.com/maintenance/extending-battery-life/ May 13, 2012 — Although lead-acid is old battery technology, having been...

I don't want outlets ! Even searching with google images almost all come with outlets. I use the boats 120 outlets.

Can you just hook up some alligator clips ? Use it as a battery for several years then you can just resell as you didn't put any miles on the motor anyway. Not paying insurance or for DMV extortion stickers its a free battery if you manage to sell it for the same price at a later date.

I ordered this for the 12 volt side of the ships solar. I like both that it matches my Outback stuff and the blue LED that I can see from the couch. My solar stuff has to look kinda cool cause its in the boats TV room, the salon. I keep the cabinet open for venting. Lots of people like that...

I am going to just heat my fresh water tank with the marine air conditioner I already have. How long to get to comfortable shower temperature I don't know but its better then just dumping the heat into the sea. V Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon so we can calculate that one gallon of water...

I have 2 auto store square wave inverters in the 12 volt side of my system in the boat cabin and they are super noisy. I don't care Efficiency as I make more power then I use so not spending to upgrade. My 32v side, Flexmax 80 and Outback 32v inverter. That I did not skimp. Anyway, I can...

Seroiusly ! Looks like it includes at that price Outback 120/240V Radian Inverter DC charger (if DC coupled) Mate3s Controller AC/DC Load Center (Bus) HUB Communications Manager Flexnet Monitoring System Combiner Box /BMS All Battery Connections/Cables Wont work for me on a boat too...

To cover several ski trails with machine-made snow, you need a lot of water. According to SMI Snow Makers, it takes about 75,000 gallons (285,000 liters) of water to create a 6-inch (15-centimeter) blanket of snow covering a 200 x 200 foot (61 x 61 meter) area. The system in a good-sized ski...

I successfully got the FlexMax 80 to charge 32v lead acid and have a FX2532MT inverter charger so I want to stick with 32v. I just started reading on building LiFePO₄ batteries but I kind of expect the same problem, those battery management systems probably all designed to work with 12 24 36...

I just thought of this. Have a spring and a full bucket of water pulling against it for the morning position and set up something so you can control the rate the water drips out of the bucket. As it empties and gets lighter the panel moves in the direction of the springs pull (effort). "A...

As described in a paper published on Thursday in the journal Joule, the device is based off of a thermoelectric generator that creates electricity from the difference in temperature between a "hot side" and a "cold side." The researchers—UCLA scientist Aaswath Raman, and Stanford scientists Wei...

Found a big inverter, Solarcraft Inverter, 32V or 48V or 66V or 120V, 2000 Watt https://www.solarcraft.net/shoponline/inverters-converters/inverter-32v-or-48v-or-66v-or-120v-2000-watt "Our highly energy efficient 32 volt direct current LED bulbs are just what you have been looking for...

In the car stereo world they put large capacitors on the DC side for when the bass hits. These big capacitors store electricity as instant power available for your amplifier. If the amplifier draws more current than is available from the electrical system directly, the capacitor covers the...

Me I can't stand volt gauges with just one decimal place. Is it rising or falling ? 12.4 V that's nice but if things are moving but moving slowly it can take a long time before a one digit decimal shows 12.3 or 12.5. I want to see exactly what's happening, right now.

I recycled some 30s and a 50 amp shore power cord instead of going out and buying 100s of dollars in wire. Simple math says paralleling all 3 conductors in a 30 or 50amp cord and using it as a single wire gives 90 or 150 amp rating. But this this calculator approximates the combined AWG value...
