    youtube advertising changes (all content creators need to understand what this means)

    I love how you decided to attack me when the first post to your thread basically said the same thing... But if it makes you feel good go for it.

    Well good enough then -- I'll continue to use it despite your protests :-) As my viewing pleasure bandwith has more than tripled but yes some day yt may block these 'blockers' till then I'm good.

    You know that to be true ?? Ads get blocked on most sites and I doubt the site actually knows about it.. works great for us folks on limited internet plans such as satellite..

    Upgrading Panels - Old Charge Controller Sufficient?

    You should use Voc which is 46.2 -> 92.4 (other wise I would have said 3s2p - but that goes over 125)

    Video explaining my problem with my install

    Maybe I can't see the pic clearly enough but it seems the new wire is 6AWG.... but I'm half blind so what do I know.

    New car...er, VanPort

    If you are leery just put a blanket, cardboard etc on the panel(s) - anything that will block the sun (I use cardboard/tarps all the time). But doubt you'd have an issue anyway as Schlagger said.

    Aluminum Cased Prismatic vs Fortune cells (200 Ah)

    How do you figure they are lighter ?? Fortune 100ah = 5.8 lbs, 190ah you listed are 4 +/- 0.1 KG = 8.8 lbs +/- Never mind -- got it. Fortune 17.2 ah/lb and 190ah = 21.6 ah/lb so lighter..

    Inverter in Helena Montana

    Good luck with that - I've installed two systems on our ranches in MT and never found anyone that worked with "parts" (so ordered those and had them drop shipped). Best bets would be from Billings, Bozeman or Missoula but if they exist they probably are not on the internet -- just saying.

    48V Inverter Recommendation?

    Awesome!! Doubt you will kill yourself.

    48V Inverter Recommendation?

    Okay let us know when you are done ;-) There are plenty of cheap options out there if that's how you want to go -- but your battery need is probably only doable with used junk or golf cart batteries.
