That is a very nice picture. I am sure its cold out, but the pic is one for the wall of your home.

I have the schneider 6848pro with charge controllers and insight home. I originally hated the idea of the insight home until i realised it does it all. I sit in front of a computer and type to change settings for any of the pieces from the same program. I did not hate it after that. I dont think...

Worst mistake I have made was that I did not have a good disconnect on the solar array. The AIO I was using direct shorted inside and when I tried to flip the breakers I was using for the disconnect I learned the hard way it was not sufficient. I have since installed better actual disconnects...

I have used both Silver and Gold, work great so far. However it has been only 2 years so i dunno nothing yet on durability. The 12 gauge stuff is pretty tough. 14 is too flimsy. No issues at this time.

Mine either except for my exwife.. Which will never melt no matter how hot it gets...

When you use those, are there any issues with panel expansion or contraction?

As a matter of fact, the best angle where I live for winter does get the best snow sliding off :) i usually do not have to sweep them off, but am prepared for it.

I can see that point, if you are making enough power in the winter with the tilt, you will make plenty in the summer anyway at the same angle.

Is that much hot water for heating the home too?

lol, I am 62 and still work my stone quarry , setup all my solar myself, do all my mechanical repairs. you should be fine if there is still a planet by then, 🌋

I have a Rheem hydbrid hot water heater. Girlfriend takes a marathon shower, uses up all 50 gallons of hot water (120F) and it takes about 4-5 hours to recover. My unit takes about 500W . I love it. it is always on the Solar system and never on the grid.

I was able to find a website that sells them, but the price does not beat home depos 1.5" galv pipe. When bought in amounts of 5ish you do get an additional 15% off https://www.trafficsafetywarehouse.com/Galvanized-Steel-Square-Sign-Posts-2/productinfo/SQ-/10212/...

I need signpost steel... Now where exactly did you get those ?? LOL! love the concept! Awesome natural resource utilization.

WOW, looks like you got a great shot of the southern sky!! What a view!

78. 48 that are 250W and 30 that are 265. there are 26 more in storage. I am trying to catch up with Tim. :)
