    Tax Credit: Inspection required? Claimed once?

    I’ve heard of someone who won $7500 in the lottery. They went to the track and paid kids one cent for every discarded losing bet ticket they could find. Kids made a few bucks and many dollars of winnings were offset by losses. This was years ago when kids would talk to strangers and were...

    Tax Credit: Inspection required? Claimed once?

    FWIW IF anyone has been audited over the Solar credit they won’t admit it on the forum : https://diysolarforum.com/threads/has-anyone-ever-had-the-irs-question-the-solar-tax-deduction.82286/

    Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

    Don’t forget the 81 cents 😎. My favorite feature listed : “Unbalance load surge kicks butt” Sounds like that was written by someone with calloused hands, not the typical marketing schmoozer. 🤣

    48v isolation switches stopping 58v pylontech batteries?

    Spec sheets from the manufacturer are very helpful. Here is a breaker on Amazon that looks like a cheap AC breaker : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NTV9FEO However, I did see that breaker used in a 48V nominal commercial server rack battery and thought that couldn’t be right. So, the next...

    207kWh System... In 12V??? 😬

    Or you could simply cut out the problem during the design phase and use 48V batteries of course 😎. As everyone has suggested. Before everyone comes up with a million more ways to solve this problem let’s just agree : 1. It shouldn’t exist in the first place. 2. BattleBorne should be ashamed...

    48v isolation switches stopping 58v pylontech batteries?

    Midnite solar has proper 150V DC breakers that look downright cheap compared to that Siemens 😎. I’ve been using breakers that I see 48V nominal battery manufacturers installing on their stuff. Just pause most any YT video when they show the breaker and you can typically read the make and...

    48v isolation switches stopping 58v pylontech batteries?

    It’s clearly rated for a 12V vehicle battery as they state. The specs don’t even bother to give a voltage rating. Just because one person on the internet had “success” with it above 48V so far you can’t take that as fact that it’s proper to use. To be safe it’s worth spending another 5 or...

    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    That takes a lot of planning. How long in advance do you plant the tree before it’s ready like that 🤔.

    Why the laser focus on Idle Power?

    Gives me a chance to reference an excellent thread from a couple years ago : https://diysolarforum.com/threads/impress-your-friends-by-using-correct-units-and-abbreviations.36196/

    I understand that Chevron and BP are bidding on sponsorship for the next video 😎.
