Foam enclosed cells… I guess it is fire retardant, or extinguishing foam?

They have a 1000W model and a larger model, as well as a portable solar panel. I noticed thwy have one for 799 One for 499 and the panel is 299... Not fantastic prices, but on the floor ready to pick up is cool. I should have taken pics, but figure they will be on the website...

I have a few that have failed. A generic 30amp model, an aims 60A model, both just stopped registering solar input. And a 30A make sky blue that got exposed to rain and now does nothing.

Still in the layout stage on this one. I like the Ridgid long toolbox. The cells fill it up nicely… but WOW, 8 cells are HEAVY! Anybody have a build using these cells to share?

I started with a Ridgid rolling case. I have the cells set in, and the bms leads all routed and tied in place, protected with plastic corrogated sheeth. Anybody see anything i need to address so far? It is only 60Ah, so im not too concerned with arc flash failure. A good fuse will be...

I found this exam table for $20... I am SERIOUSLY considering it... It would make an... interesting diy battery box... It already has two 120v outlets on it.

The dealership she is shopping at has one where the charge will only go to 150. They have no explanation for the issue. They want market value for the car... She wisely is asking me about it. I told her to go on the ev forums and get info, and she is, but i thought id post it here because you...

No details on it yet, just took it home. Looks like a 20kW model. Service company couldnt get it started. So they replaced it, and the neigjbor asked me to come get it. Any advice where to stsrt?

Great Scott has a cool channel on electronics and projects with solar etc. This just popped up in my feed.

My task is dessert for everybody… I make a dozen 10” cheesecakes… Easy to make, but WHOA so time consuming to make 12…

This https://www.tindie.com/products/picrogrid/atverter-hobbyist/ Popped up in my feed today... Anybody have info on it?

So... I just bought this today, it's about 8 years old, has a little moisture stain on the floor by the side door. Otherwise appears in great shape. Inside dimensions are 13'3" nose to back door, and 5'8" side to side. 6' height. The roof has a slight curve to it, and is REALLY thin galvanized...

I am based in Charlotte NC… sort of. Licensed in North and South Carolina. I can probably help with most any Hvac issues… Fire away!

My brother bought a place and the yard has stacks of lumber and pipe.

I will post pics of the panels and disconnects if anybody is interested.

The guy even uses a Tesla to tow the equipment around… With 1200W of solar, he isn’t charging the car though! But that combined with an onboard eg4 5kWh rack mount, and several chargers onboard, he is getting the jobs done! He doesn’t go over the tech setup much in this video, but his others...

I have a customer I have done all their electrical in the house, I have repaired their upstairs hvac equipment, and replaced their downstairs system. I have installed a whole home dehumidifier and maintained everything they have. They have a generac 24kW standby generator installed by me, and I...

So… The river has worked fine, I sorta like it. I don’t like the molded handle, wish it had a folding handle or a central handle… But that’s not the big issue, the big problem is the glacier just clicks… no cooling function. And the website doesn’t let me log in to get warranty service on it...

So... NEC requires any residential pv maximum voltage at 600V.

July 4th Independence day... Yall be safe!

It is well animated, and explained nicely.

Ok, I have been looking for a cheap EV for my wife… she drives an 01 Passat now, and I’ve spent innumerable amounts on service of the car… also, it has an oil leak, goes through about a quart a month, and it stinks… the shop is pricy to get it fixed up… And of course fuel. She doesn’t drive...

I mean… with enough solar, I suppose one could power a 2400W load for some time, but if you need that much wattage a 1500Wh battery isn’t going to be very helpful after dark… And a 2400W capability would allow a microwave to start, to cook a small meal in a few minutes… 1500Wh battery keeps...

On eBay, a claimed 6000W split phase solar generator system… $114

https://www.pv-magazine.com/2023/03/24/german-manufacturer-achieves-80-overall-efficiency-with-new-pvt-solar-module/ In a world where NASA panels in space can’t achieve 46% I am reluctant to accept this article at face value…

Customer approached me. They have a nice farmhouse with a small barn, and a workshed. It is already wired for power from the house, and they also have a deck, with 12V LED lighting on the railings powered by a non functioning solar system. First they just wanted me to fix the deck lighting...

Getting ready to cook Christmas dishes for the Christmas eve family gathering and... pop... substation for my neighborhood blows... coldest night of the year so far, and Duke says power won't be restored until next evening... My stash of batteries powered a space heater on low for 4 hours...

Ok... So, I'm driving to a job tonight just before sundown, and I notice the chemtrail/cirrus cloud lines... and what do I see with them... SHADOWS on the sky dome. Prove me wrong!

So… just browsing around looking for LFP SG’S found this… 10% of the full price… figured it was scam, but pulled the trigger… it’s coming from srilanka, so two months out… I will report back if/when anything arrives.

I have watched quite a few videos from this guy, and he explains setups very well.
