    IF ev sales are faltering I’d blame the manufacturers for predominantly offering 60k vehicles and not something for the entry level buyer
  • Post in thread: California proposes “blatant seizure of property” in solar ruling

    the sooner people stop relying on on the government and it’s subsidiaries the sooner they can’t control you California does what it wants because people allow it.

  • Post in thread: Solar has been hijacked/co opted. A wakeup?

    There are many groups/types of people on this forum. Many reasons and ways to utilize solar I’ve also been able to pick up on quite a bit from entertaining the insights of people on here with seemingly different mindsets. There’s opportunity in any environment
  • Post in thread: Big dreams, small living, off-grid homestead from scratch

    The land: Located at roughly 6500ft elevation is nearly entirely flat. There is an abandoned camper, abandoned Toyota Tercel, and some other odds and ends. We’ve got juniper, scrub oak, and some other small bush growth. The ground isn’t the most fertile ever, but we can make some improvements...

    Y’all gotta come up to where the air is rare. Really helps that hemoglobin production 😅
  • Post in thread: Half price electric cars

    I’m gonna build an A frame tent out of solar panels with wheels and an electric motor. Yall can keep bickering while I enjoy my electric rv tent camper truck house array 😤

    They probably won’t need a firmware update straight out of the box 🤣
  • Post in thread: Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    None at all imo. There’s the eg4 6kxp, a host of Chinese 10kw inverters all with differing levels of grid connectivity, or this. Just my humble opinion. That isn’t to say there is anything wrong at all with the commissioned 18kpv or SolArk systems in the wild. But if it’s coming out of my...

    The emotional roller coaster of this thread mirrors the success of each 18kpv firmware iteration
  • Post in thread: Big dreams, small living, off-grid homestead from scratch

    The homestead: we worked with Absolute Steel to create our vision. It is a 40x80structure. 10ft wall height, 6/12 roof pitch. Enclosed is 40x68. The south gable end has a 12ft patio/extended roof. It has 13 windows overall. The house will orient N/S. The southern gable wall has a 16ft wide...

    they have absolutely ZERO credibility after the pandemic. (And my career is knee deep in this field) Then compound that with the Michael Mann defamation case that just ended (not the result but the actual contents of the trial, I watched much of it) and the guy is absolutely heinous and hundreds...

    What did the CDC announce yesterday in regards to treatment/exposure/isolation to Covid? Hint. It has to do with influenza When you finish connecting those dots do some research on PRIONs and Pfizer I am a very low key person but THIS is what really chaps my ass and will remove civility in an...
  • Post in thread: Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    Day 89 of refreshing the Midnite website to see if there’s a price yet 😭 (They could make a lot of ad revenue off of me hitting refresh alone)

    Got my bulbs in today. Will know soon how real they are
  • Post in thread: Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

    @AstroBob i hope I don’t cause you to have an aneurysm But just to demonstrate, I snapped this pic a few min ago…Most everyone in here is not a blind fan boy. We all must evaluate pros/cons as well as cost analysis. Some products are just a no brainer to run blue. Some products are only...
  • Post in thread: Post your Ground Mount Setup

    Just finished up on another array for a separate battery bank. No clue on input, I’m thinking at least 1.21 gigawatts
  • Post in thread: Signature Solar - Pallet of Panels - Shipper Issue

    Carry the pallets sideways, then you don’t need long forks and your tractor won’t be pissed off at the world for 7ft of leverage. I’d say fedex dropped the ball in this case.

  • Post in thread: Lifepo4 deals november 2023

    Been getting a lot of emails from vendors with holiday/end of year type sales. And I also for no reason obsessively look at web page deals. Wasn’t sure if I wanted to post it here, or in the battery sub threads. In any case, it seems as though battery banks are often the hiccup for many. The...
  • Post in thread: Post your Ground Mount Setup

    I can’t wait til @timselectric finds out that the 3.5 engine in the Tacoma is 3456cc and starts referring to them as the 3.456 Tacoma to avoid confusion
  • Post in thread: Climate change, COVID, and other things...

    So I am going back and forth on whether or not to continue in this conversation. My passion and subsequent “anger” stem from the medical establishments inability to separate facts and reality from personal gain. In April of 2020 I was on social media, screaming from the roof tops about masks. I...
  • Post in thread: Terrible Signature Solar / EG4 18Kpv Experience - Returning and Replaced with Sol-Ark 15k

    but how long does this get to be the default reason? How many product lines of inverters? I don’t want to badmouth signature solar, they seem to have some great deals But it also appears that almost every inverter they’ve released has significant issue, typically software it would appear, which...

    It helps at the hospital when people are averse to needles. Oh no worries dear, this is only an 18g needle I left the 21 in the drawer 😂

    I don’t think @Will Prowse has enough shop vacs
  • Post in thread: Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    I’m gonna start calling you my brother from another mother because at the end of the day our systems are going to be mirrors. Backups included ? Get off my lawn and back away slowly from my inverter
  • Post in thread: Anyone buying these 305ah envision cells?

    Welp, they dropped the price again down to 79/cell. 33 cells to my door (1 spare) under 3k. Don’t mind if I do
