Heck you dont even get credited at the same rate on the most recent net meter 2.0 They went to time of use here to make sure you pay double from 4-9pm when theres no solar. They are already getting over on us. Its just going to be way worse. They just throw in some woke buzz words like "fair...

I think its bs to say others are paying for your solar installation. You paid for it.

OC city is the pinacle of freedom? Lol

They want you to buy batteries. And they want you to have an inverter that they control and can use your battery to sell to the grid whenever they want. Thats the plan. Make you pay for their storage shortfall.

I don't think it draws down at all but I can't really tell for 100% sure. The well is rated at 150+ gpm refresh 20 years ago. I think its pretty safe to put a pump rated for 370ft of head on it down at 350ft. And if it draws down and sucks air, I can always pull it and redo it but i think...

We pulled the well up enough to drop a string down and find the water height. It's about 200ft down.

Yeah they probably cost 3X now. The world has gone mad with pricing. Im tempted to not drop the pump as deep this time if the water table is good. I think the water table is only around 100ft down here but need to verify. And I have not noticed any drawdown at all ever. And the well was...

My pipes started having pitting and pin holes after about 15 years. Had to pull the whole 640ft enchilada and replace the bottom 2 sections. That was 7 years ago. Have not had it up since but its not leaking... When the holes happened, the pump was running and water was shooting out the pipe...

On Sunday my neighbor is coming over to lift my well head off and we are going to check the water depth and try and draw down the well by pumping 10k gallons. Then I will be able to properly size the new pump. Im looking at the SQ15 1.5HP pump right now thinking it should be a good option. We...

Good points Thats a heck of a battery. You must get more cloudy weather there. I live in san diego county, its sunny 300 days a year. Dont need so much battery here.

Have you looked at the IMO brand switches? They seem really well made.

Better than I thought. Its a lot of juice.

Does the 15k do 15k ac? I think it only does 12. My 12k x 2 setup makes 18k which is plenty of juice.

What battery is it? Personally, I dont really care if it can take 12k worth of dc. It would be better if it could make 12k ac. I had to get a 2nd one because 9k just is not enough to run a lot of ac equipment.

Yep, mine do that too. Clouds clear and bam 110% of rated output.
