I'm with you, I don't see the 'Manhood' part, must be the Asperger's...
But I would like to have a nice flat peak at 100% production from 8AM to 4PM,
And enough charge controller & battery there wasn't any need for 'Clipping'.
Plug in EVs to absorb the production, not have to watch consumption at the shop, have 100% of what we needed in the winter
With the BYD batteries, I'm seriously considering the electric tractor this year.
Batteries were my problem the first time around.
Application bit me in the butt...
When spring breaks, you only have so many days to get crops in,
And between gear reduction to make torque, and the wrong battery it just wouldn't do the job.
One full sun day charging, then 3/4 of a days work, then another full day charging I lost 1-1/4 days for every 3/4 day of work.
(Nobody wants to swap a 1,600 pound battery in the middle of the day even if you have a spare, which I didn't)
Now I have enough battery!
When they aren't in the garden, they power the house and other stuff, but can be racked in the tractor during 3 seasons.
Winterizing an electric tractor would be taking the LFP battery pack where it can't freeze!
I'm good with that.
Picking up a tractor trailer load of panels next week, that will solve a crap load of issues I have in the winter, and FINALLY solve the winter low production issues in winter.
I'd like to have Will's curve, but at about 13kW peak...!
