What do you think? I like them. Think about how easy an off-grid system is if you threw this on the ground in your backyard. Excited to...

It’ll be the carrot and the stick method for getting more batteries installed which solves some of the problems created by PV integration.

Simple voltage shunt circuit to balance LFP cells. R8 and R9 sets shunting threshold to 3.45V and placed away from heat generating parts...

Worked on first try. Helps that this was LTSpice tested design I made 10 years ago. After 10 minutes at 3.6V 0.42A transistor was at...

If I read this correctly, I agree: You export into negative rates, you should actually pay for it.

The electric markets are just playing fairly, a home with PV wants to act like a generator it should be compensated as one. lol...

I can agree with that, until you get to the transmission part. If we built more robust local nuclear and gas we would not need to chase...

This is a hot topic lately, but somewhat counter proven by all rural coops in California being cheaper than PG&E. The federal government...

yet GREAT sound suppression is possible

That's not my goal. And besides, when you squeeze electricity the consumption just squirts out into the natural gas market, as is the...

I really want the Kohler 48v propane eventually. I think in a few years from now it might be cheaper than PG&E too lol.

being EX californian now for 32 years, I forget that, I run mine on propane, but usually Nat Gas

Generator is a good point. Would not want to live next door to one. But exactly how much power they consider enough for winter can get...

Emissions though. California despite being so strict has never achieved federal ozone compliance in most populated areas, so will...

I have been pleasantly surprised at reports of rural counties at least setting quite reasonable bars, like just 24 hours of battery storage.

It does or should, but you would have to prove to the AHJ that 1. You have enough power in winter and 2. You have it without having to...

That doesn't make an argument to maintain them, especially when you are trying to get people to act rationally which they cannot do...

They'll shutdown.

Open neutral faults can cause unstable voltages. Pictures might help. It certainly sounds like you've got something very wrong in your...

Energy Institute at Haas is right on the money, the only organization currently looking at the residential electricity market with clear...
