What's that saying / implying about the EG4 6500EX and 6k?

That depends on real world experience, level of common sense and lots of other things... A sign similar to this hangs in the engineering office at work, I get a chuckle every time I look at it.

Just one more reason to cut the cord completely.

Working for a Tier 1 Auto supplier, it's not just EV sales that are dropping... We've been seeing this coming since Q2 of last year. I cut an entire shift out of my department at the start of the new year (no one lost their job and everyone is happy) and will be starting layoffs on the other 2...

Walked 20 acres last night, didn't see a power line anywhere remotely close to where I'd plan to build and smiled the entire time. My mind is racing, thanks to the inspiration in this thread, on how I'll put together my ground mount arrays while making best use of the natural landscape. I should...

Upgraded from 12 305w panels to 14 370w... Will finish things up in the morning.

I don't even know where to start. Props to him for going solar and not using battery communications ?

Edit to add FS link. Send me a PM if you're interested. Pricing will be better for forum members. https://williamsport.craigslist.org/ele/d/danville-lg-neon-305w-solar-panels/7698501021.html End edit. For anyone selling on Craigslist don't fall for scams...

Yup. Blue and Black only go to the negatives. That was heck of a short you created to make it go boom like that,. I'd be proud of the carnage and appreciative of the amount of power on tap. Replace the BMS and wire correctly. Also, I really like your take on the compression springs, I've never...

I started with this and 200W of panels to keep the coal stove lit when the power went out. (I know those breakers and 'bus' bar are shit, I was a rookie) It's evolved to this powering the entire house. I have more expansions creeps planned before fall...

So the 10k in the name is for continuous AC output not the PV input... Interesting. ? Is this made in the USA?

My SRNE ASF 10Kw. It allowed me to take the rest of the house off the grid. Next up would be the Envision cells and a pallet of 370W panels for ~0.19/w delivered to allow me to stay off the grid longer.

Congratulations, you've discovered inverter idle consumption.

1 month update. 1 major issue, I need to use a lot more power ? From the display menus; 473 kwh produced, 445 used. If my math is correct that's ~94% efficiency, I can't complain one bit. Everything just works. No restarts or errors, besides me charging to aggressively and the BMS going...

Wow this thread.... @Will Prowse keep doing what are you doing, you are one of the few people I'd trust in real life. Your videos and demeanor on the forum show a lot about your character, not many people like yourself left in the world it seems. There are a lot on this forum from what I've...

Heat shrink shortages at Lowes across the country incoming.

Sort of a ramble of random thoughts waiting for everyone to arrive for a bachelor party weekend (not mine, yet) while enjoying delicious hazy IPAs from a local brewery. How long till it really all made sense and you could sit back and enjoy it with nothing to worry about? (this should be a...

Well I ended up going hybrid... Initially I had laminated 3 posts, the 2 outer and the center, then I decided it wouldn't be strong enough so I added 2 more 4x6's. All in all I'm happy. There are a few minor imperfections but I can't complain for working alone, next time I'm phoning a friend...

My Dad sent me this one earlier today... Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great...

The climate is changing, always has been, always will long after we're gone. I never had an experimental vaccine for a blown out of proportion money grab virus, never will; I have no issues with proven vaccines for things that are actually dangerous / deadly. The earth is round, always has...

Pivots with 1 hand, minimal effort. Such a gratifying feeling. Huge thanks to the plethora of info here from all the great users and a sincere thank you to @Will Prowse and all the admins for making it happen. For anyone just starting their solar journey, ground mounts are the way to go in...

Sorry you're having issues. This unfortunately is the same thing over and over. Hope you get your items quickly to make optimal use of the sunshine. The 9S's of SS... super slow shipping solar stuff, sadly sales surpass service.

Thank you for the honesty, transparency, and ownership in the first post. Working in manufacturing as a tier 1 supplier I completely understand how these things can happen and the chaos they create. Great problem solving and corrective actions so far. Way to go, going to the gemba and getting...

It's still a WIP, I have 2 more rails to add then the panels can finally go on. I'll be around a grand all in. Pivots with 1 hand as pictured, balanced pretty darn good. 3.66kw of LG Neon's to be added, 6s2p. More photos here...

Camping you say? Woke up to clothes frozen on the line, thank goodness we didn't have electric kayaks or atvs. Sorry for the derail. Couldn't resist.

Words to live by.

I never would have guessed this, your posts are better than many of those that grew up speaking and writing English.

It's not worth it. Don't do it. You'll be way ahead buying from USA inventory.
