https://newscenter.lbl.gov/2024/05/06//groundbreaking-microcapacitors-could-power-chips-of-the-future/ Scientists from MIT and University of California have achieved record-high energy and power densities in microcapacitors, they store 9x as much energy and provide 170x the power than best...

This is now the 2nd day that my MR is failing to charge the batteries and instead feeds back into the grid: Last "normal" day, behaving as expected: During the night using the batteries, sunrise -> take over the house load and then start charging the batteries, as soon as batteries are full...

I did not have enough taxes to pay to get the $7500 IRS, and the lease company deducted $6000 (or so) from the amount I owed on the lease. For me it would have been better, even when I would have bought out at end of lease to lease first. I have leased so far: nissan leaf EV 2 x toyota RAV4EV 2...

I leased a Chevy Bolt premier for 35x$230/month (first month was free and including local tax) so a total of $8,050 over 3 years/36,000 miles I got $4,500 upfront after leasing from California Clean Air act. So my costs (apart from (solar)fuel/tires/insurance) was $3,550 That means I paid...

Are you sure ? When I installed a couple of solaredge inverters, each PV module had an optimizer and when I had 10 optimizers in series I would measure something like 10 volt in total at the end when the inverter was turned off. According to the spec sheet of TS4-A-F Without a keep alive...

Don't you mean 1 Volt per RSD ? When an RSD device is not enabled it will give roughly 1 volt per device. In your case 10 panels/RSD devices in series so the input of your inverter you should see 10 Volt.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has a program called the Electric Vehicle (EV) Fleet Modernization Initiative, which aims to help federal agencies transition their vehicle fleets to electric vehicles. According to the DOE’s website, the initiative has helped federal agencies purchase over...

A record 1.2 million U.S. vehicle buyers chose to go electric last year, according to estimates from Kelley Blue Book, a Cox Automotive company. More specifically, 1,189,051 new electric vehicles (EVs) were put into service as the slow shift to an electrified future continued unabated. In 2023...

“Lithium-ion batteries are powerful, and they are used everywhere, from electric vehicles to electronic devices. However, their capacity gradually decreases over the course of hundreds of charging cycles. The best commercial lithium-ion batteries with electrodes made of so-called NMC532 and...

I was helped a lot by the feedback/help from @WrenchLight who helped me more than support of MR ever did ! As long as it keeps working, I will keep using it. But I would never advise the unit for a new setup.

So far it is performing as expected for me. single unit with 24kWh batteries

Thanks for enlightening me ! TIL.

Original setup: 17 x 350 = 5,950 watt AC modified setup: 4 x 1500 + 375 = 6375 watt AC Afaik most inverters (string or micro) can do a little bit over their rated specs. Some of them are software limited (eg Sunnyboy/fronius 3.8kW units to not go over the 16 amps (80% of a 20 amp breaker)) for...

So instead of 17 x $208.25 = $3540.25 they installed 4 x $505.75 = $2023 + $208.25 = $2231.25 Plus less mounting materials, less hours on the roof. All of that is in _their_ favor, not yours and they did it without notifying you. I think you should have a more thorough talk with them.

I think this is the same unit: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Ce-Approved-48v-200AH-10kwh-20kwh_1600869934046.html They claim it will be shipped from their EU warehouse and in the cart, ready to be shipped to California with payment of a Credit Card: With paypal: That would be...

Could this be a solution: yellow = negative red = positive. Probably have to buy a few new longer connections

I will stick to things like record snow in California & massive fire in TX. There is climate change, no matter how hard you try to say it is nothing.

So that happens all over the world, every location where they measure according to certain standards (1.25-2meter above ground) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_temperature They all get higher readings, all over the world, and it is the local environment around the sensor that does...

So these temperatures are manually increased every year?

Comment from a reddit poster: Some power plants do nothing but things like correct grid frequency and absorb peaks. This used to be done with gas fired turbines and lots of fuel. Now it's a brick of batteries and some transistors. The first big Australian grid battery cost $65M and makes a...
