    Would you bother with solar on this roof?

    Yeah, it is configurable, but you are looking at an hour or two of sunlight. In that time you'd have to replace the amount you used.

    Would you bother with solar on this roof?

    You'd have to over panel and have a larger battery that can cope with the high charging current. If you are looking to cover outages only, a small generator would be more cost effective.

    To ground or not to ground

    No, you don't need to ground it, cable runs are going to be short. If you have a larger system and higher voltages you might want to consider it.

    Starlink is a game-changer

    Do you have a source for that? (I am interested myself, but last time I looked this dish uses about 100W of power and don't see an easy way of permanently mounting it on an RV.) Sounds like a good plan.

    What was your biggest mistake on your first system?

    Worrying too much. It took me a week to top balance my battery, if I had to do it again, I would hook it up to a BMS and charge, I would only top balance if I don't get within 80% of the capacity. The BMS will balance the battery over time. Oh and remeber that the white terminal on the...

    Can Solar & Wind Fix Everything (e.g., Climate Change) with a battery break-through?

    Yes and no. It is possible if we stopped emitting the waste products of burning fossil fuels into the atmosphere. But it doesn't look like there is much appetite for that and we seem to be more interested in waging wars over the resources, for the benefits of billionaires. We will need to...

    Dr Strangetroll : or how I learned to stop arguing and be amused by the intransigence

    Keep it up, force him to question his "own research" in the mean time expose publicly that he doesn't know the answer and is talking nonsense.

    Dr Strangetroll : or how I learned to stop arguing and be amused by the intransigence

    It has been a long time coming. Thanks to the celebration of profit over social responsibility, you guys are suffering from growing income inequality, and anything that is done to reduce that is labeled Marxism, Communism or Socialism. Personally I think a mixed economy would be preferable...

    Yeah, SOME even take months to accept that Trump left office with higher unemployment numbers then when he got into office.

    BMS comparison

    I ended up going for the SBMS0, open source hard and software, but Dacian has problems sourcing the electronic parts due to shortages so it might take a while to get your hands on one.

    Dr Strangetroll : or how I learned to stop arguing and be amused by the intransigence

    I certainly agree that people have the right to be stupid. However Bob is advocating people treat covid with ivermectin which studies show doesn't work and he refuses to tell people here what could possibly change his mind and stop advocating it. So I have to assume that he believes nothing...

    Dr Strangetroll : or how I learned to stop arguing and be amused by the intransigence

    He is trying to argue that there have been studies that showed that ivermectin does work. But that wasn't my question, in a reasonable, rational discussion both sides need to be open to the possibility that the other party can provide arguments that can change their minds. His refusal to answer...

    Dr Strangetroll : or how I learned to stop arguing and be amused by the intransigence

    In order to have a reasonable discussion, we have to accept that the person we are discussing things with could present things that will change your thinking. What will it take for you to accept that ivermectin does not work?

    Dr Strangetroll : or how I learned to stop arguing and be amused by the intransigence

    Only way to get you to answer a simple question is to keep asking it. What will it take for you to accept that ivermectin does not work?

    Dr Strangetroll : or how I learned to stop arguing and be amused by the intransigence

    That doesn't answer my question. What will it take for you to accept that ivermectin does not work?

    Stop changing the subject. What will it take for you to accept that ivermectin does not work?
