  • Post in thread: Be aware....Just tried to order $2000 worth of batteries from <vendor> and they rejected my C Card. That produced a Fraud alert and cancelled card.

    That was your bank doing that, not the company. Did you receive a text or an email or a phone call asking you if it was fraud? My bank whenever I make online purchases even if it's similar to other ones I've done will randomly ask me to verify if it is fraud. All I have to do is reply Y or N...

    100k users Time for some giveaways. 🙃😜 ⠀
  • Post in thread: Some new lovely candle scents.

    BRB getting some new candles.
  • Post in thread: THANK GOODNESS FOR LIMITED ADDS HERE……

    Thank @Will Prowse for having this idea and sticking to it all this time. It really is one of the best forums period I've ever been on, not just for solar/battery/electric related topics. At least in the last 10 years anyways.
  • Post in thread: 4 X class solar flares to impact this weekend.

    Maybe I'm just not in a zone that gets hit by these things (?) but I have never had a single piece of electronics be affected by anything but car accidents, bad weather or lightning strikes. Why put extra worry into your life about something that you can't change or stop from happening? If...
  • Post in thread: EG4 LifePower4 no UL Label - Failed Inspection

    Do words just not mean anything anymore? 🤣🤣🤣 How can you continue to say "woke" and expect to be taken seriously when it gets used to... I guess... just mean anything you want at any time.
  • Post in thread: What was your most interesting recent non solar project?

    That's fantastic, I would love to try to do that as well. I had lion's mane for the first time recently, I pan fried it with some butter and garlic and it was obscenely delicious.
  • Post in thread: Cheapest 48v 50ah battery I've found so far. $409.99 free shipping

    eBay is weird with their deals, you really have to look at every single listing that a seller has. On a separate listing, as a single unit they are still at the lower price- HERE
  • Post in thread: A thread on battery carts.

    That's sweet 👌
  • Post in thread: Good deals on LiFePO4 batteries

    These are a very good deal- EcoWorthy 48v 50Ah $368 shipped (use the coupon code that automatically comes up when you check out) $154 per kWh
  • Post in thread: Limit current to each battery string in a system with multiple parallel batteries.

    Huh never thought of it like that, but that's a great laymans explanation. Sort of like how I describe to people the difference of computer storage versus computer memory. Imagine sitting at a desk. Your storage drives (hard drive or solid state drive) are the drawers of your desk. and the...
  • Post in thread: What was your most interesting recent non solar project?

    I just bought one of these recently and my kids and I (mostly me! 🤣 ) had a blast playing with it for a little bit. They're 7 and 10 and admittedly lost interest after about 30 minutes, but its a start! Yeah that's pretty sad, they definitely went down hill quickly. But even towards then end...
  • Post in thread: Dirty Electricity Reduction

    It's also interesting that that's the guys first post on the forum. This reeks of this post being created by the same dude, to bring "awareness" to this supposed phenomenon even existing (and because it's easy to rile people up, he can gain traction on the topic) and then him swooping in with...
  • Post in thread: Wanted: used 3000 watt, 24 volt all in one inverter

    You can pick up a refurbished Growatt 3K 24v unit for $499.
  • Post in thread: lol

    Where are you finding 400W bi-facial panels for $100 each? 😍😍😍
  • Post in thread: 24V DC wiring in the cabin worthwhile?

    Honestly, if you're going to have a 48V battery system and an inverter already then it really doesn't use as much as people say it does to just run everything on 120AC. Spend that money on regular capacity on your 48 volt bank and solar panels rather than the extra money on an entirely separate...
  • Post in thread: New system lasting less than an hour.

    Ya'll are scaring this guy off. I'm sure millions of people out there don't run a balancer and their systems run fine. Should they occasionally check to see if their isn't an incredible imbalance between their batteries? Probably yeah. Is their system going to explode if they don't? No. Will...
  • Post in thread: 2024 YouTube Video Ideas

    How about a video focusing on the other end of the spectrum. You have a solar setup, now how do you maximize the Wh you have by finding the sweet spot of efficient appliances versus when and when not to spend significantly more money on something just because it is "efficient". For instance is...
  • Post in thread: 2024 YouTube Video Ideas

    Also an episode detailing which devices that can be modified to run off of DC input. For instance most small appliances already run off of DC and it can be as simple as bypassing the wall wart and piping DC power directly into the device or as involved as opening up the device and bypassing its...
  • Post in thread: 2024 YouTube Video Ideas

    and maybe an episode dedicated to which devices draw the most while left on and which devices "out of the box" use the most power, but with some settings changes can be made to use less power on standby and/or fully turn off. Every little thing adds up when so many things in your house are left...
  • Post in thread: Rich Solar Life4 batteries make great claims VS ?

    You're just saying that because you've been fed lies by some guy you know after he did something dumb and now goes around ranting about how dangerous solar/batteries are. I never understood men like this, if you don't like the person you married, tell her that leave her.
  • Post in thread: Trump

  • Post in thread: Trump

    We are all being lied to. The Oligarchist(s) do not want us united. They need us to be against each other, their biggest fear is a united population. Liberal media is fabricated. Conservative media is fabricated. It is indescribably embarrassing to be a staunch supporter of the left or the...
  • Post in thread: DIY 3.6kW bifacial ground mount system

    Awesome build. The step by step blog type updates are always a great read though.

  • Post in thread: Eclipse 2024

    I live in central NH and drove up to St. Johnsbury Vermont day of (we left at 11:00am and traffic was so bad that's as far north as we could make it) and we found an open spot and set up chairs and watched the full eclipse with the kids. The full total eclipse was spectacular, But I do not...
  • Post in thread: Tesla CyberFlop

    When you go your whole life not to being taught something or being told that it's a "mans job" it's hard to get interested in something. Blame societal norms. For every woman out there who "doesn't know one end of a screwdriver from the other" there's two-fold more men who couldn't cook their...
  • Post in thread: View with skepticism - Youtube claimant to run his house and charge Teslas

    This reeks of an "I'm a for hire inspector and not only do I not abide anybody having fun/being different, but they need to do things my way or else" vibe.
  • Post in thread: Santan solar deal

    Man... their website is absolutely OBNOXIOUS to navigate. There's no easy way (at least on mobile) to sort by size or whether the listing that you are clicking on is for a container load, a truckload or a pallet.
