Ev's work for some people, but not all and not all the time. I drive 60 to 90 miles per day, my wife drives about 30 miles per day. We charge at home most of the time. Before going off grid I was getting power at night at $.06 a kwh. At about $3 gas I think it is over 200mpg equivalent. But...

Better yet is a thermal imaging camera, such as a flir, or many other brands out there.

This is my mostly complete 56KW array. It is 100 panels on a Sinclair ground mount. And another 40 panels on a modified EG4 mount that tilts. Last summer I started it, put in a 56 Panel Sinclair. This spring I added on 44 panel sinclair to the right side of the existing. Then while doing this...

I have 57kw of solar, and 3 Tesla's and I am not even the least bit a "green". I did it all for tech, hobby, save money, and pure speed, lol.

I think his latest email states his position. He is not employed to show you how to do the job. You need to learn on your own, or hire someone to do it, or show you how to do it. Just make sure you fix everything on his list.

Last sentence is key! I have lived my whole life helping others and hopefully some of my knowledge rubs off in the process. I just spent the last week working on my solar equipment in the basement with my daughter. I hope what I shared and continue to share outlives me.

Or after you wear the wife down with all the solar talk and she says just shut up and order it.

Lol, nope, rather have a heated concrete floor in my shop.

Ambition strikes??? Not on the same level as the others listed, lol. Ambition strikes has views, but not a technical review source at all. They had to have their system installed by others, lol.

I don't have popcorn, but I am eating corn on the cob. Does that count?

I told my wife this yesterday, and then under my breath I said "unless I add some charge controllers"......

That is why all my equipment is in my basement, no cold, no hot, about 60 to 68 degrees F all year.

Another video, everyday dave More data to chew on....

Same here in WI, that is why all my gear is in the basement. I have a dry environment, and temps from 65 to 70 most of the time. Helps keep batteries and gear cool.

Sure I did it all to save $30 a month. I plan to live forever so the payback is coming.... And actually I have 10 inverters, 9 for sure I am installing and 1 will be backup to my back up. And I have over 150KWH of battery, I just don't have it all finished. I work a full time job and run my own...

The GE one is a large capacity. My wife would not get one unless it was full size to do comforters and such. It only has one issue it let's a bit of lint get past the filter/screen assembly. Every few loads I have the wife carefully vacuum it off. We bought ours from Best Buy, actually we bought...

You guys are babies. AL wire is just fine if you know how to install it. Most AL wire today does not even need a de ox added. I still do it, but it is not required.

Over the weekend we just got a new GE Profile all in one. Washer and dryer in the same machine, heat pump, 4,8 Cu ft. Suppose to use 1/2 the power if a electric washer and dryer. Runs on only 120v power, no 220v power needed.

Load testing? How about these 2 shots of my 2 systems feeding my house and shop.

And sewer pipes, and gas lines, and sprinkler lines, and ect. They don't stop for small stuff.

I cut the cord, no more close to $30 per month for connection to a grid. I pay my bill on time but then also pay a charge for people who don't pay theirs on time. At just over 50 years old I can finally say I am totally off grid. I am currently working on making my system bigger and will be...

I just started bitcoin mining to make a few dollars, and it is heating my shop. I only have one miner right now, but will be buying another one tonight. Then I will have about 7000 watts on power to use. Right now in the middle of the day if I need load I have several minisplits, heat pump...

Hobby, as if I needed another one, but here I am living it, lol. I am an electrician by trade and always wanted to be fully off the grid, I have no wires to my house, none. Self sufficient, electric everything but fuel for genny. Electric cars also, so no every few days gas station stops. When I...

What about the top connector?

I am your first subscriber. I am getting in on the ground level, lol.

Don't suggest breakers or you will need a 80 circuit panel to put them in...

2 ev cars, bitcoin mining, in floor heat in shop, heating my basement, heating my house, and charging battery from over night ev charges, or bitcoin mining all night long if I know there will be sun the next day. All manual loads turned on by wifi switches.
