    Remember more than 10% of public companies are considered zombies and don’t actually make any money, the stock is the primary product.
  • Post in thread: Full Disclosure

    This forum has been a tremendous help for me, I don’t know what all the crying’s about but this place is a great community and I thank everyone who continues to contribute.

    I can tell you 2010 and older are not banned. Also can tell you my new riding mower was legally bought and they aren’t banned. Look you can go buy one yourself in CA….You say they are banned ? Lol I can assure you my oldest Peterbilt is still working and it’s a 1990 , 3 axel 20k front 46k...

    Exactly…And in CA our grid is constantly having black outs now, we can’t even provide enough electricity for houses let alone the folks who want to drive EV’s

    These systems are amazing, I’m like a kid in a candy store. I’m overwhelmed but, blown away …
  • Post in thread: Santan solar deal

    They never had a pay now button on these panels. Last night they had the exact same deal where you get a quote and it is in your account. They still appear to be available from what I’m seeing. Nothing has changed from last night when this was posted.

    I have multiple big rigs that the state considers illegal, they allow us to keep and use them they just limit the miles. This is the same rules for our heavy equipment fleet. Although the majority of our equipment is Teir 4 , some of it is old and non compliant but it’s on the low use list and...

    What’s next, income based water and sewer bills. Seems crazy a public utility wants to know our income. I say no chance this passes, but in this crazy state anything seems to go.

    I’m actually thinking of doing a greenhouse roof out of my extra bifacial panels, think it would work out perfect . I don’t need the extra energy from the other side of the panels but the light transmission should be perfect.
  • Post in thread: Victron MPPT RS 100A error 200

    They shipped My replacement today, never did they ask for my old unit back. I will send it back if they want It though.
  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    Why ? The whole electric delivery thing is nothing more than virtue signaling for them and everyone who tries it. They know it doesn’t pencil, it’s all about playing the part to keep certain folks happy, even if it’s a complete loss. Look a PepsiCo and their Tesla semi’s, they are open about...
  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    I’m wondering how many folks will be upset when local governments add a flat fee “ Tax “ for every time you go to refill that EV ? Won’t be long till EV’s are asked to pay their fair share no different than ICE vehicles. You want to fill your tank at this supppppper charger…no problem that will...
  • Post in thread: Will PV panels get any cheaper?

    Mind sharing the deal ? I’m searching for smaller quantities than a whole pallet at the moment. Thanks
  • Post in thread: Cable tray

    Never seen that before but appears you can run zip ties to hold the cables cleanly.
  • Post in thread: Free shipping for a pallet of 365w

    Picked up a pallet (31) of 365 Bifacial’s shipped for under 2k last month. Not saying this is a bad deal, but there are definitely better out there. Inxeption is where I got them thanks to other forum members who pointed out the deal.

    Tesla is not fine, they live off gov handouts. All it’s going to take for them to go belly up is a president rolling back the green credits scam.
  • Post in thread: Victron charge settings

    my apologies I wasn’t trying to be a dick to anyone. I tried to describe as best I could what was happening with the batteries to CC, the batteries had two cells each that would go haywire is how I describe it. I would charge these till OVP would set off an alarm on the multi, the multi is...
  • Post in thread: Victron charge settings

    I have the cerbo already hooked up, unfortunately I’m to dumb too understand 90% of what it can do. I can't get over how neat this solar is…you all are bad influences on me. Now I need more panels…I can see this is going to be an expensive hobbie.
  • Post in thread: Victron charge settings

    It’s sitting on my wife’s dining room table as we speak. Next week I’m going to load it all up in my snow cat and try to get into our cabin. Might be a few weeks before I get it all mounted but, I will get pics of it as soon as possible.
  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    Since you read their financial’s I’m sure you understand how they barely make any money with their online business and the delivery side is a complete loss for all intents and purposes. AWS is their money maker.
  • Post in thread: Please check my new Victron setup

    So from inverters to lynx 1/0 , I got that…. Now From 450/100 to Lynx 2/0 ? Both are fused with 125 amp fuses ? Thanks a millon for the help I really appreciate you taking the time.
  • Post in thread: Please check my new Victron setup

    Ok , thank you for clarifying. Now I see why it was such a struggle to get those cables into the MPPT….Looked like a pain in the but. Thanks again Adam , I owe ya a 🍺
  • Post in thread: Cable tray

    Yes
  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    Yeah CA is already working on a fix since EV’s are projected to create a 6 billon dollar hole in the states road tax fund. On a different note The CPUC In California is pushing for a monthly flat fees on all grid connections so those folks with solar pay their fair share to maintain our grid...
  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    Won’t happen. They tried to force the ARB rules on all the heavy equipment , unfortunately there still are tens of thousands who have laughed at the state and their unenforceable rules.
  • Post in thread: Cabin build 2hp well pump

    Grundfos well pumps are the way to go or run a soft start on the current pump. For the solar system you will need to provide more info before folks can give you ideas. Whats your power usage look like at the cabin ? One thing I will suggest upfront is try and go 48v from the start, it will...
  • Post in thread: Victron charge settings

    Ok I don’t want to leave you hanging I have to run out on a call, I will get this info posted up first thing in the morning. Thanks again for all your help. I truly owe you.
  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    The company has literally lived off the Gov tit since inception and still needs those Gov forced green credits to stay afloat. While Musk was tweeting that people shouldn’t get Gov handouts in 2020, Tesla was there at the Gov tit to get its handout. Any basic Google search will bring up one...
  • Post in thread: New Tariffs in the States

    The industry will just move products to other locations for shipping. BYD is already discussing building in Mexico to avoid US tariffs. What happened to the good old US of A and free markets ….. Let companies fail if they can’t compete, it’s really that simple. I’m all for letting BYD sell...
