Must not have, the interwebs are still working.

Looking at the photos with the screen brightness way up it looks like the camera definitely caught something earlier. I thought I saw a red hue but told myself my eyes were playing tricks on me. Still boring compared to what others are seeing.

I'm jealous. I've been out at least a dozen times. It's just cold, damp, foggy and cloudy. The damned house across the road has an led floodlight that's flashing on and off and the red light on a radio tower to the NNW had my hopes up for a 1/2 second. Thanks for sharing the awesome photos.

@AlaskanNoob I would be outside looking for lights if I were you.

Some pretty spectacular photos here about halfway down and the next page.

Well I'm a little nervous now. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/g5-conditions-observed

Suncalc.org may be what you are after.

Or smoke em with hickory and a bit of apple; on your solar powered electric smoker during a solar storm.

Some amazing lines in this one.

I don't think so. Might want to get ready for a light show if your in the viewing area. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-viewline-tonight-and-tomorrow-night-experimental

I better get to work preparing this weekend, weather is supposed to be shitty so I have a good excuse to clean up the garage / work area. No shipment notification for mine yet.

Up to at least 7 CMEs now headed our way. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/severe-geomagnetic-storm-still-likely

@Badbyte I'm jealous, I wish I ordered sooner. Who did you order from and how long from payment to delivery? Your address is still visible on the smaller shipping label.

This channel also has some good info (warning, music can be intense). https://m.youtube.com/@nemesismaturity/videos I don't think this weekends event will cause any severe issues but AR3664 is definitely something to pay attention to. (a lot of this is way over my head).

Looks like there is a media advisory in about an hour. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/media-advisory-noaa-forecasts-severe-solar-storm-media-availability-scheduled-friday-may-10

From the research I've done it should be, I don't have access to an official UL database to verify. Somewhere pages back there was a fair amount of discussion on it. Personally I don't care if it isn't, it meets the testing requirements and has plenty of certifications in other countries where...

Stop looking.

Higher voltages x3. Modular battery system that can be put in series on site to keep shipping costs down and maneuverability easy. Make an AIO that is user serviceable with easily replaceable components, make sure the components are available for purchase after x years. More info on...

If someone doesn't have at least a handful of projects going at once they aren't living. I need to relocate the battery bank and hopefully add to it at the same time, oh and I still need to build the new enclosure. Then I need to relocate the drill press, at least one work bench and remove a...

I'm not that worried about it, I have some surge arrestors as well. I see zero negatives of disconnecting the breaker. Same. I just want to see the Aurora in PA... If you could mitigate the risks/ impacts from something that you can't stop from happening, why wouldn't you?

"The duration of solar minimum may also have an impact on Earth's climate. During solar minimum there is a maximum in the amount of Cosmic rays, high energy particles whose source is outside our Solar system, reaching earth. There is a theory that cosmic rays can create nucleation sites in the...

Yes, been dealing with her from the get go, even when I was still trying to purchase from Abby at SRNE. We could make it a friendly competition of who gets them up and running first 😂

Wow. First G4 watch since 2005. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/swpc-issues-its-first-g4-watch-2005 Glad my grid breaker has been off for months. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/

This? 60V max.... Any reason you didn't go with an AIO for about the same price? https://www.amazon.com/Mxmoonfree-Inverter-Wireless-Control-Terminal/dp/B0C2BQ1KBK Are they returnable? Are they LiFePo4? It is frowned upon to run them in series. I would definitely add a balancer if you don't...

Based on the packaging of my ASF, I have zero concerns with damage. My concern is 2 separate shipments and them not arriving the same time.

Initially they asked for $50 from me, we agreed on splitting it after some back and forth.

Yea, they weren't very reassuring, but you can't always trust reviews... Lots of members here have been running them without issue. My brother has one in his house that's been working well for years. He did have something on it fail shortly after he bought the house but said it was warrantied.

If you do decide to order them I'll be curious if you are hit with an additional weight charge as well or if they have corrected the issue after my experience.

Hahaha, that's the first time I've been called sweetie on here....delete. I wasn't making assumptions I was asking questions. What is the issue causing you to return the equipment?

You have the 10KW iirc.

Ending up paying an additional $25 after some back and forth. I was close to saying cancel it out of principle but I really want these....

Nearly spit out my soup 🤣

See the replies from the members above. I've learned lots from them since becoming a member here. I would not parallel them until SOC is within a few %.

Even better, grid won't even be connected to it, the grid connection is in it's own isolated panel, the only output will be a rectifier for battery charging, if needed. Ahh, I should have been clearer, I can see how my statement was confusing. No grid tie here.... When I find land to build on...

I ordered 2 60A. I know I'm breaking the rules but I'm a rebel at times. It's a 200A main. I'm doing it this way so it's isolated from the grid and easy to pull down and relocate when I move. I can put the house back to original in an hour if needed. The thought crossed my mind today to...
